KILLS WOMAN -- HANGS SELF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT HOME OF FARMINGDALE CARPENTER.
FREDERICK BUCKHOLT MURDERS MRS. ELIZABETH RUST, WOUNDS 
HER SON AND TAKES OWN LIFE.

Farmingdale, LI - At his home here, late last night, Frederick 
BUCKHOLT, a prosperous carpenter, shot and instantly killed Mrs. 
Elizabeth RUST, an employee of Selyo's Hotel, in this place; shot 
twice at the woman's two children, Willie and Gertrude RUST, slightly 
wounding the boy, and then ran up to the attic, where he hung himself.
When the screams of the frightened children and Mrs. BUCKHOLT has 
summoned neighbors the latter found Mrs. RUST dead on the floor with the 
children crying over the body, but there was no trace of BUCKHOLT.  The house 
was searched, and his body was found dangling from a beam in the garret.
What prompted the murder is not known, but it is positively declared today 
that there was no quarrel over the board of the two children, as has been 
reported.
The children were placed in the care of BUCKHOLT some time ago by their 
father, John RUST, of Hoboken NJ, who had separated from his wife.  RUST and BUCKHOLT 
were then close friends, but some time ago had a quarrel.  It was said today that 
the trouble was due to Mrs. RUST, after she had discovered where her children had been 
placed, going to BUCKHOLT'S home and remaining there some time.  Later she secured 
the place in the hotel.
There was no witness to the tragedy of last evening except Mrs. BUCKHOLT and 
the two children, and they cannot tell what really prompted it.
The boy has a slight wound on the cheek, made by a bullet fired at him by the 
murderer of his mother.  The shot sent at the little girl hit a button on her gown and 
was deflected.  She was uninjured, but terribly frightened.
Three shots were fired at Mrs. RUST, and all took effect - one lodging in her 
breast, a second in her neck and the third in her back.
Acting Coroner Justice Charles P. BUDILL has the case in charge, and will 
hold an inquest next week.  He has in the meantime given a permit for the burial of 
the bodies of BUCKHOLT and Mrs. RUST, but the funeral arrangements had not been 
completed this afternoon.BUCKHOLT was about 40 years old; his victim was 
several years younger.

DOUBLE FUNERAL AT FARMINGDALE AFTER MURDER AND SUICIDE
BUCKHOLZ NOW DECLARED TO HAVE SHOT MRS. RUST BECAUSE SHE 
DID NOT LOVE HIM.
Farmingdale, LI - Funeral services were yesterday held over 
the remains of Frederick BUCKHOLZ, who on Thursday shot and 
killed Mrs. Elizabeth RUST at his home here, fired two shots 
at her children and then took his own life.  He was buried in a 
village cemetery, the funeral being in charge of the local lodge 
of Odd Fellows, of which the dead man was a member.  The usual 
services of the order were conducted at the grave.
At 2 P.M. funeral services were conducted over the remains of Mrs. 
RUST, the Rev. Mr. MERRICK of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church 
officiating, and the interment was made in Farmingdale Cemetery.  
The funeral of Mrs. RUST was attended by her divorced husband, 
John RUST, a contractor, of Hoboken, NJ and the two children; 
Wille, 14, and Carrie, 12 years old, and by many of the villagers.
It is now declared that the cause of the tragedy was not a demand 
by BUCKHOLZ upon Mrs. RUST for more money for the board of the 
children.  The fact is that the father, John RUST, placed the 
children in the BUCKHOLZ home, and not only paid a liberal sum for 
their care, but furnished a pony and wagon for their use, giving 
BUCKHOLZ the privilege of using the rig when he desired.
It is now said by those who claim to know, that as a result of the 
mother's frequent visits to BUCKHOLZ's home to see her children, he 
became infatuated with her.  She did not reciprocate his fondness for 
her, it is said, and he became insanely jealous.
BUCKHOLZ, it is said, learned Mrs. RUST was one of a party of two women 
and two men wh owent out for a sleigh ride a night or so before the 
tragedy.  He became furiously jealous, and upon Mrs. RUST's appearance 
with a cake to celebrate the birthday of her little daughter, he 
commenced to upbraid Mrs. RUST, who threatened him with arrest unless he 
stopped, whereupon BUCKHOLZ got his revolver and shot Mrs. RUST three times 
in all, and then fired a shot at each of the two children, the bullet grazing 
the boy's neck, and that fired at the little girl as she ran from the room, 
striking a button on her dress, thus deflecting the bullet.

MRS. HARRINGTON BURNED TO DEATH AT HER HOME
  Her clothing catching fire from a kerosene lamp she had been carrying Mrs. 
Margaret HARRINGTON, 65 years old, was burned to death last night at her 
home, 1124 Thirty-ninth street. Her landlord John DOERHOEFER, and George 
SCHMIDT, a visitor, were injured, though not seriously, in trying to 
extinguish the flames.
  Mrs. HARRINGTON'S death was the fourth in the family in the past eight 
months. She was the mother of Dan HARRINGTON, the ventriloquist.

TWO END THEIR LIVES BY INHALING GAS
  Leaving behind no explanation of his deed John R. LLOYD, an accountant, 51 
years old, during his wife's absence at church yesterday, inserted a rubber 
tube in his mouth, and then laid down on a lounge in the front room of his 
home, 198 DeKalb avenue, to inhale the gas from a wall bracket. He was dead 
when Dr. ALLEN of Clermont avenue, and Dr. LINDAGE, of Clinton and DeKalb 
avenues, arrived in response to summonses sent by Mrs. LLOYD on her return 
from church. Mrs. LLOYD said she was unable to understand why her husband 
should take his life. He had not experienced any family or financial 
troubles. The case was referred to the coroner. 
  Jacob RAZENIKOLL, 56 years old, killed himself at his home, 38 Johnson 
avenue, yesterday, by inhaling gas through a rubber tube. As a precaution Dr. 
PARKS was summoned from the Eastern district Hospital, but his services were 
nor required. The police were unable to ascertain the cause of the suicide.

Members of the family of 18 year old Fredrick KOOP, of 310 Linden street, 
claim that his death from pneumonia on Feb. 12 last was the result of his 
being carried away from home on the night of Feb. 10, to ensure his 
attendance at the annual inspection of the Forty-seventh Regiment, of which 
he had been a member less than six months. His presence at the armory was 
desired, it is alleged, to maintain the attendance of record of Company G, to 
which he was attached as a private.
  Young KOOP was placed in a closed automobile and driven rapidly to the 
armory, a couple of miles distant. The exposure to the patient caused by the 
trip back and forth was the indirect cause of his death, it is declared. KOOP 
was under the care of Dr. Charles TROST, of 189 Stanhope street , and the 
doctor's orders were, according to the KOPP family, that the boy be kept in 
bed at home. Mrs. KOPP, the boy's mother, says a doctor's certificate showing 
that the patient was too ill to be removed from the house was shown to a 
private of the forty-seventh who called to summon him to the inspection. That 
was 9 o'clock in the evening. Two and one half hours later, according to Mrs. 
KOPP, a sergeant, accompanied by two privates, appeared at the KOPP 
residence, and upon being admitted, pushed the woman aside and demanded to 
see her son. Proceeding to the boy's room the three militiamen demanded that 
he prepare to enter the automobile with them and proceed direct to the 
armory. An hour later young KOPP was returned to his home in the auto, and 
two days later he died.
  The story of the family is to a large extent denied by the officers of the 
regiment. Capt. J. De Witt KLEMYER,of Company G. said no force had been used 
in bringing KOPP to the armory. He sent out Sergeant H.J.MACK, of his 
company, with Col. Henry C. BARTHMAN'S closed automobile, for the young man. 
MACK took along two assistants.
After the three had left the armory the certificate from Dr. TROST arrived.
  On the return of the party, after the inspection was over, the captain saw 
immediately that the boy was sick, he said, and demanded an explanation of 
why the soldiers had brought him out in the bitter night. The sergeant 
declared, he said, that while Mrs.KOPP had not wanted the boy to go, the boy 
had wished to accompany him to the inspection.
He had not been taken, but had gone along willingly, fully dressed, and had 
no complaint to make according to Capt. KLEMYER.
  The captain says that he immediately turned the boy over to the Assistant 
surgeon G.E. DAVIS, of 484a McDonough street, and asked him if he should have 
KOPP taken home by the hospital corps. Dr. DAVIS examined the boy, declared 
Capt. KLEMYER, and said he appeared well enough to go home in the closed 
automobile, as he ha come. The sergeant's statements were all made before the 
boy, who made no denial of them, the officer says, but admitted that he had 
come voluntarily in spite of the warning of his doctor and the opposition of 
his mother.
  Dr. DAVIS corroborated the assertions of Capt. KLEMYER. First Lieut. Edgar 
R. RODD went with three privates as the representatives of the company to 
attend the boys funeral, which was held on Feb. 16. They also accompanied the 
body to the grave in Evergreens Cemetery. Capt. KLEMYER was attending the 
National Guard Convention at Albany when word of the boy's death reached his 
comrades. Word came even too late to get together a firing squad of eight men 
to take to the cemetery as usual.

3 March 1909
MRS. BISHOP STUMBLES IN GAS FILLED ROOM AND LAMP SHE CARRIED IS SMASHED, 
BURNING HER TO DEATH-BOARDER SHE SOUGHT TO RESCUE ALREADY ASPHYXIATED
   Mrs. Ada C. BISHOP, 71 years old, and George H. VARNEY, both of whom 
occupied rooms on the top floor of the three story frame house at 66 North 
Oxford street, were found dead early today by Mrs. Annie RUBY, owner of the 
house, who with her four children lives on the first and second floors. The 
man was a victim of gas poisoning and the elderly woman met death as she was 
vainly attempting to rescue the dying man. She was burned to a crisp when, 
falling to the floor, the lighted lamp she carried in her hand set fire to 
her nightgown.
   A strange feature about the affair is that the burning oil from the lamp 
apparently did not spread about the floor and the flames which enveloped the 
woman did not set fire to any of the furnishings of the room or cause an 
explosion in spite of the fact that the room was full of gas which had 
escaped from an open jet.
   Mrs. RUBY is in the habit of getting up at 5 o'clock every morning and 
awakening Mrs. BISHOP, who, in spite of her years, left the house at 6 
o'clock so she could reach a shirt waist factory in East New York, where she 
worked on time. Mrs. RUBY went to Mrs. BISHOP'S room and called to her to 
arise. Getting no response she opened the door and to her surprise saw the 
room was vacant. At the same time she detected a faint odor of gas and seized 
with a premonition that something was wrong, made a hurried inspection of the 
three remaining rooms.
   As she opened the door leading to the one occupied by VARNEY she stumbled 
over the body of Mrs. BISHOP which was half lying, half reclining in a corner 
of the room. Mrs. RUBY was almost overcome by the fumes of gas, but she made 
her way to the window and threw it open.
   DEAD SEVERAL HOURS
   The faint morning light disclosed VARNEY'S body lying on the bed and the 
body of the aged woman in a corner. Near her was the broken lamp. Mrs.RUBY 
summoned the police from the Flushing avenue station and Ambulance Surgeon 
WALSH of the Cumberland Street Hospital was called, but he could do nothing. 
He said VARNEY had been dead for several hours from gas poisoning. Mrs. 
BISHOP had been dead about two hours. 
   VARNEY had been out of employment for several weeks. His case was a 
pathetic one, as he suffered from epilepsy and found ti difficult to keep a 
position once he obtained work, consequently he was idle most of the time. It 
is believed that while turning out the gas last night he was seized with a 
fit and before he had recovered was asphyxiated.
   Mrs. BISHOP, whose age and bent body did not prevent her from working 
steadily day by day, took a motherly interest in the unfortunate man and 
whenever he was seized with the attacks at the house she was the one who 
watched over him.
   The police believe that early this morning Mrs. BISHOP was awakened by the 
odor of gas and investigated carrying the lighted lamp with her. When she saw 
the body of VARNEY lying on the bed, thinking she could drag him from the 
room, in her efforts she probably stumbled over a torn rug near the bed and 
dropped the lamp. The lamp broke and her night dress was soon in flames. Her 
arms and limbs were burned to a crisp.
   VARNEY'S body was removed to the morgue after Coroner BREWER viewed the 
remains. Mrs. BISHOP body was claimed by her brother, who is familiarly known as 
" Berry the Bean Man " on account of the large business he does with 
Delicatessen men. VARNEY has a brother, a retired naval naval officer, who 
lives at 212 North Carey street, Baltimore, Md.
   VARNEY had been employed as a tinsmith in the Navy Yard and had a good 
record. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, the Masonic order, the Knights 
Templar, the Masonic Historical Society of Manhattan and the Royal Arch 
Masons.   Mrs. BISHOP'S brother sent word that he would have an undertaker remove 
the body to his home, and in the meantime the remains are being guarded by 
Policeman Samuel RABAU, of the Flushing avenue station.

BOY BURNED TO DEATH
   Three year old Raymond MITCHELL, of 1676 Seventy-third street, while 
playing in the kitchen today stumbled and fell across the stove. The boys 
clothes caught fire, and he ran screaming to the street, where some passing 
workmen grabbed him and smothered the flames, but not before he had sustained 
burns which later proved fatal. Ambulance Surgeon HUNTER, of the Norwegian 
Hospital, hurried the little fellow to that institution, where in spite of 
the efforts of the house staff to save his life, he died. Thomas MITCHELL, is 
a policeman attached to the Brooklyn Bridge Squad.

TEN KILLED IN MANHATTAN
   In a fire early today, the work of an incendiary, in the five story double 
tenement at 374 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, ten persons were killed, half a 
dozen seriously injured, and a number of fireman and policeman burned.
   But for the heroic work of fireman and policemen the death list might have 
reached fifty. The loss will exceed $6000. The dead are

Unidentified man and woman.
   The fire started in the basement and spread up the airshaft, which had 
been oil soaked. On the ground floor of the building is McDONALD'S 
undertaking establishment, while in the apartments overhead, lived thirty 
familles. Patrick MINKS, caretaker in the undertaker's was awakened by the 
crackle of burning wood and gave the alarm. He then started through the 
building to arouse the sleeping families, only to be driven back by the fire 
and smoke.
   So rapidly did the flames sweep through the building that his escape was 
cut off and he had to take to the windows and make his way across a cornice 
to an adjoining building. In the meantime someone had turned in an alarm of 
fire and notified the police station just around the corner.
   The relief platoon was lined up in the station, and under the command of 
Lieut. DAY was raced to the scene and started getting the frightened tenants out.
   Every window in the building was filled with frightened men, woman and 
children before the rescue could be started, and fireman used their scaling 
ladders to good advantage in bringing the inmates down.
   While the firemen were working at the front the police were attacking the 
rear. Hear the fire escapes were found to be useless so high were they piled 
with rubbish. Policemen RILEY, GALLAGHER and GENTRY went through the 
adjoining house to the third floor and while GALLAGHER was supported by the 
others he swung himself across by the shutters and into the window, passing 
out a man and two children he found unconscious.
   Truck No. 24 swung an extension ladder to the fifth floor, and before it 
could be placed in position Firemen CLARK and McCARTHY ran up and jumped 
across through the flames, and almost immediately reappeared carrying two 
unconscious woman who were passed to the street, where ambulances from three 
hospitals were waiting.
   McCARTHY then rescued two children. As he was passing down the ladder a 
man appeared at the third story window with a baby. " Here, take this one 
too, " he shouted, and tossed the child to the fireman, who caught it and

MURDERED ITALIAN IS FRANCISCO ABATE
The body of the murdered Italian found yesterday morning near Bayside 
Cemetery, Ozone Park, was identified last night as that of Francisco ABATE, 
21 years old, of 140 Sackman street. The identification was made by Vincenzo 
GARDINO, an uncle of the dead man. A label on the victim's hat was the means 
of establishing the Italian's identity.
Lieut. VACHRIS made a search of ABATE'S apartments. He found a number of 
letters in which demands for money were made. The detectives learned that 
ABATE had been in the country for two years and had not worked during the 
last eight months.
He had always dressed well, however, and seemed to be well supplied with money.
It is believed that ABATE wrote the letters demanding money and that he 
was lured to Ozone Park by some of the men whom he had threatened.
Lieut. VACHRIS thinks he knows one of the men who was implicated in the 
murder, but he has no definite proof as yet. He expects to make an arrest in 
a few days.

TWO MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN STATEN ISLAND NOW BEING INVESTIGATED.
   Coroner CAHILL and the police of Richmond Borough are today investigating 
the mysterious deaths of two men, whose bodies were found in a clump of woods 
on the Watchogue road, in Northfield. The two men were at work together 
yesterday and disappeared at lunch time. Last night the body of one of them 
was found, but from the examination made by Dr. MORD, Coroner's Physician, it 
appeared he had died a natural death. The other man's body was found near the 
same spot today, and now it is believed that perhaps both were poisoned.
   So far the body of the first man has not been identified, but he is 
believed to be Paul BIRUE, 21 years old. A card in his possession bore the 
address, 638 Driggs avenue, Brooklyn. The bodies of both men are at the 
morgue, in Stapleton.
   Coroner CAHILL has ordered Dr. MORD to make a thorough examination of both 
bodies and ascertain if there are any traces of poison in their stomachs. He 
regards it as very strange that these two men, who were last seen together at 
noon yesterday, should both be found dead in the same spot a few hours apart.
   The men were working in the vicinity of the woods where their bodies were 
found, and after eating their lunch yesterday started out for a walk. They 
were last seen by other workmen going in the direction of the woods. When 
they failed to return in the afternoon a search was made for them.
   The house at 638 Driggs avenue is vacant except for a second hand clothing 
dealer on the ground floor. No one in the neighborhood knows of a Paul BIRUE.

Retreat, near Baltimore, Md., where he had been about twenty years. He was 
seventy years old. TRAVERS in his youth drifted west with the army and became 
a fur trader at Seattle, Wash., then a trading post. Unlike most post 
traders, he saved his money, dickered with the Indians and like Alexander 
SELKIRK, bought a little island, where he established himself. His money, 
fine, clothes and other luxuries soon excited the jealousy of the Indians. 
The formal cause of dimension however, was an American flag, which he hoisted 
on a pole in front of his log house. A council of war was held by the Indians 
and they resolved to tear it down. When the attack was made TRAVERS greeted 
his foes with a well placed shot from one of his numerous loaded guns and 
they retreated vowing vengeance. TRAVERS managed to get word to Seattle, and 
a gunboat was dispatched to keep the flag afloat. It was with joyful heat 
that TRAVERS, a day or so later saw the gunboat steam into the harbor and 
train its guns on the thickets where the Indians were concealed. TRAVERS 
lived in peace for a while. but his mind gave way under the strain, and his 
white neighbors had to send for the gunboat again. This time TRAVERS left the 
island in chains. He was taken to Seattle, then to San Francisco and shipped 
across the continent to Mount Hope.

age might have been proud. His voice escaped almost entirely the usual

   The funeral of John Henry STARIN, who died yesterday at his residence at 9 
West Thirty-eighth Street, Manhattan, will be held on Thursday afternoon at 
the family homestead in Fultonville, Montgomery Country. He is survived by 
two daughters, Mrs. SPRAKER and Mrs. Howard CARROLL, and a son, Myndert 
STARIN. His wife whom he married more than sixty years ago, died three years ago.
   Mr. STARIN was born in Sammonsville, Montgomery County. He was educated in 
local schools and studied medicine under an Albany doctor until he found that 
his tastes ran in practical rather than professional lines. He than became a 
clerk in his brothers drug store in Fultonville, helping out a small salary 
by taking the village postmastership at $45 per year.
   Coming to New York at the age of 31, he manufactured toilet articles and 
medicines until the shipping of his goods interested him in the freight and 
transportation problem and suggested to him the idea of establishing a 
general freight agency in this city representing leading railroad and 
steamship lines. In time he built a large freight and lighterage business and 
was probably the largest   individual owner of steamboats, tugs and barges in 
this country. He originated the idea of transporting freight cars on floats 
and was always very proud of this achievement
   Mr. STARIN was a Republican, and went to Congress for the combined 
counties of, Hamilton, Saratoga, Schenectady, Fulton and Montgomery in 1876, 
but two years later declined to run again. In 1882 he was talked of for 
Governor and received forty-two votes in the convention that nominated Alonzo 
B. CORNELL. He became a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce in 1874 
and was elected president of the Saratoga Monument Association six years later.
   One of the best known enterprises with which he had been connected was 
Glen Island, in Long Island Sound, near New Rochelle, which he opened about 
twenty-five years ago as a rival to Coney Island, and which has been closed 
for the last few years. He also had a range in South Carolina, on which were 
pastured 4000 goats, and an estate on Hamilton Lake, in the Adirondacks.
   Mr. STARIN was a member of the old Rapid Transit Commission, one of his 
last official acts as vice-president of the commission was his resolution, 
refusing to allow the interborough to third track the East Side elevated 
lines unless the company would agree to build subway extensions with its own 
money and arrange for universal transfers between subways, surface and 
elevated lines. His resolution was passed unanimously. Until his death he 
remained head of the STARIN City, River and Transportation Line. In spite of 
his advanced age he continued to appear every day in his office in Pier 13, 
North River, until a few months ago, when his health began to fail.

24 March 1909
ITALIAN MURDERED IN DUEL AND SUSPECTED MAN HELD
   Trouble that has been brewing for a log time among Italians the police of 
the Amity Street station characterize as "bad men" came to a head today when 
Joseph GENNARO, 47 years old, who keeps a cigar store at 185 Columbia Street, 
was shot to death in a street fight in front of Anthony CINCOTTA'S saloon at 
Degraw and Columbia Streets. The saloonkeeper was arrested on the declaration 
of GENNARO'S wife, Marie, who says she saw CINCOTTA discharge a pistol at her 
husband. On this evidence CINCOTTA was held in the Butler Street court today 
without bail for examination on the charge of murder.
   The shooting occurred in a crowd of Italians who had gathered in front of 
the saloon. Several shots were fired and one hit Pirtro FIORE, 31 years old, 
of 140 Degraw Street, in the left toe. He was removed to the Long Island 
College Hospital. He also is under arrest.
   The trouble started about 7 o'clock this morning and at the time Policemen 
RAYNOR and JOHNSON, of the Amity Street station, were within a few blocks of 
the scene. They rushed for the crowd and were in time to nab Lawrence 
GENNARO, 24 years old, a son of the dead man, who appeared from somewhere 
with a saw-off shotgun in his hand ready to avenge the death of his father. 
Peter DEMARA, 21 years old, of 147 Columbia Street, and Fransisco FURIE, of 
346 Columbia Street, were also arrested as being implicated in the affair.
   As soon as the "cops" approached the Italians scattered in all directions. 
The police first turned their attention to GENNARO, who was prostrate on the 
sidewalk, and he expired in policeman RAYNOR' S arms. The "cops" then gave 
chase to the fleeing men and CINCOTTA was caught in a room over his saloon. 
FURIE and DEMARA were caught in a house at 94 Degraw Street.
   The fight is believed to be the result of an attempt on GENNARO' S part to 
get even for a beating he received in CINCOTTA' S saloon last night. Both 
CINCOTTA and GENNARO were looked upon by the police as bad men, and their has 
been bad blood between them for some time, as GENNARO bailed out a friend of 
CINCOTTA' S who jumped bail on securing his freedom. CINCOTTA refused to pay 
GENNARO the amount of the bail and it is declared GENNARO tried to collect it 
by force last night. At any rate he was so badly beaten that his face was 
almost completely covered with bandages when he appeared in front of 
CINCOTTA' S saloon this morning. What happened after that until the police 
arrived is vague, as every Italian has closed up like a clam, with the 
exception of Mrs. GENNARO.
   When the police found GENNARO lying on the sidewalk after the shooting 
there was a loaded gun at his side. It had not been discharged. When placed 
under arrest CINCOTTA denied all knowledge of the shooting and said he had 
been in the house all night. Searched at the Amity police station he had a 
roll of bills containing several hundred dollars. There were no weapons in 
his possession.
   What is regarded as important evidence against him are powder stains found 
on the right cuff of his shirt sleeve? He has been watched by the police for 
a long time, as they believed him to be implicated in 
"black hand" plots.

KILLS DAUGHTER, TRIES TO SHOOT HIMSELF
   Jumping from his hiding place in a hallway, Philip MANGANO an Italian 
interpreter, today confronted his daughter Anna, a pretty young teacher, on 
East One Hundred and Third Street, and shot her dead. A bullet entered the 
young woman' s temple. She fell and struck her head on the curb. The 
principal of her school in Harlem and a score of pupils saw the shooting and 
witnessed her death, a few minutes after she fell. She had been on her way to 
her day's teaching.
   MANGANO, as an interpreter has been a fixture for several years around the 
City Hall, where his services were frequently required by Aldermen in 
connection with marriage ceremonies. Recently he had been acting queerly, and 
there was a strong belief that he was mentally deranged. He is said to be 
obsessed by parental jealousy.
   The father's treatment of his daughter had driven her from home, and she 
had sought refuge from him in the Working Girls Home, attached to St. 
Cecelia's Church. Last year when she lived with him at 211 East 109th Street, 
Manhattan, he had become enraged at her and had pursued her about the house 
with a cavalry sabre. She took him before Magistrate STEINERT in the Harlem 
court and then quit the house.
   Immediately after the shooting the street was in a panic. MANGANO turned 
from his dying daughter and lifted his gun to his head.
   Adolph SCHWARTZ, 33 years old, of 1773 First Avenue, who was in the 
doorway of a delicatessen store a few feet away, leaped upon him and bore to 
the ground. SCHWARTZ' S fist knocked the pistol far enough out of the way to 
send the bullet through the rim of the 
assassin's hat, and another shot, which followed the last one, flew wide also.
   Sergt. ENGLAND and patrolman GISSELBRECHT, of the East 104th Street 
station, were attracted by the shots and the quickly gathering crowd, and 
they ran after the fugitive and siezed.him. They found his strength almost a 
match for theirs, but the timely application of a club bought him ti his senses.
   SCHWARTZ followed the prisoner to the station house, evidently fearing the 
man would be too much for his captors. SCHWARTZ willingly made a statement to 
police, telling all that he saw. He said that if he had not turned the 
pistols barrel has quickly a he did the man would have killed himself.

GROOM'S DEATH TWO DAYS AFTER WEDDING
Morris COHEN, Struck by Broadway Car, Expires in Bushwick Hospital
  The tragedy of a bride of less than two days was revealed in the Bushwick 
Hospital to-day by the death of Morris COHEN, who was struck by a Broadway 
car at Furman avenue Saturday evening. At the time of the accident COHEN, who 
was only two hours before, had married Bertha GOLDBERG, 19 years old, of 25 
Roebling street, at Golden Star Hall, Manhattan, was on his way back to his 
bride's home, where a reception was in progress. He had gone home to change 
from his wedding clothes to travelling suit.
  After making the change, COHEN stood at the corner waiting for a car, when 
a friend hailed him from across the street. He started across, but was struck 
by a car which he had not seen. The bride was notified, and she reached the 
hospital late in the evening, where the shock of the sight of her husband 
made her hysterical. Dr. HERBERT had to treat her, while Dr. HATZEL, the 
house surgeon, performed an operation on COHEN's skull. When he left the 
operating table the injured man seemed improved, and the bride went home. She 
is in such a weakened condition to-day that news of the death is being kept 
from her.
  Jacob WURSTER, the motorman of the car is under $1,000 bail for examination 
in the Gates avenue court.

DANIEL B. APPELGATE
  "Toothpick Dan" APPELGATE, one of the most eccentric and picturesque of 
Brooklyn's old policemen is dead. He was born and brought up in Brooklyn and 
he bragged only a few months ago that he had never seen the Brooklyn Bridge. 
The peculiar part of it is that he died in East Orange, N.J., yesterday, when 
only once in his life before this had he stirred out of Brooklyn. That was 
during the New York City riots in 1863. Daniel B. APPELGATE was the old 
"cops" given name. But he lost that name in the sobriquet of "Toothpick Dan" 
to which he was known to old  Brooklynites for many years. He was rightly 
nicknamed for he invariably traveled his beat and stood at his post with a 
toothpick protuding from his mouth. "Toothpick Dan" died at the age of 87 
years. He started out in life as a butcher, and previous to becoming a 
"Leatherhead", which the cops were called years ago, because of the leather 
helmut they wore, he kept a meat market on Myrtle avenue, near Fleet place. 
After joining the police force, about 1852, he was attached to the first 
Precinct station, which is now the Adams street station. It was then located 
on Washington street. "Toothpick Dan" never served in any other precinct. The 
fact that he was on duty during his entire career as a policeman in the 
downtown section of the city, tended to make him widely known. Many stories 
are told of his service and his career. When Col. SINN took charge of the 
Park Theatre, "Toothpick Dan" was detailed to stand outside. He had that 
detail until he retired about twenty years ago. He lived in Fleet place and 
never deviated from the course he laid out for himself in walking from his 
home to the station house. The old policeman was a speculator practically all 
his life and it is said that he left a considerable amount of money. He had a 
wide reputation as a money lender and it is said that he came near getting in 
trouble several times on charges of usury. He charged 10 per cent interest on 
money he loaned out. He made money in buying and selling diamonds and other 
jewlery. After retiring from the police force he took a furnished room in 
Flatbush avenue. Up until a few months ago he was seen daily in the vicinity 
of Borough Hall. His old cronies and acquaintances were surprised and many of 
them were sorrow stricken to-day when they heard of his death. They couldn't 
account for his being in East Orange. Funeral services for Mr. APPELGATE were 
held this afternoon at the home of Frank J. CARPENTER, 88 Amhurst street, East Orange.
