DEATH OF WM. W. HURLBUT
Notices have been issued of a special meeting of the Board of Education at
four o’clock tomorrow afternoon, to take appropriate action in regard to the
death of Mr. William W. HURLBUT, one of its old members, who departed this
life at about ten o’clock last night, at his late residence, corner of Sands
and Adams streets. Of all the members of the Board, non had -cured [?] a
greater share of the respect and kindly feeling of his associates than Mr.
HURLBUT, whose sincerity of purposes and sharp, practical common sense were
appreciated even by those who have neither. Mr. HURLBUT was nearly seventy
years of age and though born in New London, Connn., where his father, who
was a sea captain, resided when at home, he had been so long in Brooklyn as
to become fully identified with its interest. He was formerly in business as
a dry goods merchant in New York, his partner being Wm. B. LEONARD, now a
member of the firm of LEONARD, SHELDON & Co., bankers in New York. But Mr.
HURLBUT retired from business in 1862 and in 1864 was appointed a member of
the Board of Education, holding over continuously, so that at the time of
his death he was serving his fifth term. The active duties he was performing
may be conceived from the fact that he was Chairman of the Teachers’
Committee, which place he has held since 1870; Chairman of the Local
Committee of the No. 1, at Concord and Adams streets and the Local Committee
of No. 27, Nelson and Hicks streets; and was also a working member of the
Local Committee of school No. 14, corner of Navy and Concord streets. His
genial courtesy will be missed in the Board. The immediate cause of his
death is said to have been Bright’s disease of the kidneys.

HUSBAND’S CRIME
He Kicks His Wife and Kills Her Offspring - His Arrest
James HAINES, of No. 12 Huntington street, on Saturday night knocked his
wife down and kicked her at the residence of Ellen MARTIN, in Hamilton
avenue, near Columbia street. His wife was in a delicate condition at the
time. This morning she prematurely gave birth to a dead child, the result,
in the opinion of Surgeon OTTERSON, of the violent treatment sustained at
her husband’s hands. The mother was removed to the Long Island College
Hospital, and the brutal husband was arrested by Officer FLOOD, of the
Eleventh Precinct.

A FLOWER GIRL BEHEADED BY A STREET CAR
Startled by an Explosion of Fireworks
Ida W. E. BURRALL, aged nineteen, a deaf mute, met with a horrible and
sudden death last night. She lived at the corner of Malbone street and
Flatbush avenue, with a widowed mother and younger sister, and contributed
to the support of the family by selling flowers. Yesterday, in the pursuit
of her business, she went to the Flatbush terminus of the Nostrand avenue
and Franklin avenue railroads, accompanied by her sister, and all day long
industriously circulated among the passengers, disposing of her fragrant
wares. In the evening fireworks were discharged in the vicinity. All that
Ida was conscious of was a sudden and intense light in close proximity to
her. It terrified her, and leaping backward she struck against Nostrand
avenue car No. 19, as it was in full motion. The driver, Patrick WARD of 39
Fifth street, tried to avert the catastrophe by quickly putting on the
brake, but it was beyond his power to stay the car. There was an awful jolt,
and then a wild inarticulate, agonized scream, then dead silence. Gentle
hands bore the mangled remains to the sidewalk, where in the glare of the
lamps, a sickening sight was beheld. The wheels had crushed across the fair
young neck and literally beheaded the girl, leaving the skull fairly
dangling from the trunk by shreds of flesh and skin. The remains were
carefully taken care of and the Coroner notified. WARD, the driver,
surrendered himself to the police.

A FOUL MURDER
Dastardly Work of a New York Gang
A Brooklyn Man’s Horror of Crossing the East River - What came of Sending a
Rowdy to the State Prison for Ten Years - The Strange Death of John Daly -
What a Watchman Did Not See
A tragedy occurred a short distance from Fulton and Catharine Ferries, at
the New York side of the East River, at an early hour yesterday morning,
which the following facts, gleaned from authentic sources, by a reporter of
this paper, today, clearly indicate was the result of a dastardly attack by
New York ruffians on an inoffensive man on his way to this city. At
daybreak, yesterday morning, Thomas SIGLEY, the watchman of the ship Golden
State, lying at Pier 27, East River, opposite the foot of Dover street,
found the body of a man lying on the deck of the vessel at the extreme end
from South street and on the outer side. The vessel was lying bow inwards
and her stern jutted out in the East River. The position of the body was
such that the man must have fallen from the outside rigging or must have
been thrown over the outer bulwarks. The watchman notified the captain of
the ship, and all hands were completely puzzled to account for the body’s
being found on that part of the deck. The man was lying under the port
bulwarks with his head bent and touching his shoulder, so that it looked as
if his neck had been broken.
The officer of the Fourth New York Police Precinct, who was on that beat in
South street, was sent for and the body was removed to the Oak Street
Stationhouse. Here the body was searched, and $1.60 in money; a revolver; a
card with the printed name of John R. BELL on one side, and John DALY, No.
54 Sands street, Brooklyn, on the other; a letter signed by a Thomas JOHNSON
to Charles W. RUSSEL, of the Goodenough Horseshoeing Company, Thirty-second
street, New York; and a book of the By-laws of Stella Lodge, of the Order of
Odd Fellows, Brooklyn, giving the date of his admission to the Order as June
5, 1877 were found in the pockets. The revolver was a Smith & Wesson nickel
plated six-shooter. The chambers were all empty, and it looked as if it had
recently been discharged, the barrels smelling strongly of powder.
Coroner Henry WOLTMAN, of New York, was notified and he impaneled a jury at
once, and after the testimony of the watchman, the latter was, discharged
from custody and a postmortem examination ordered to determine the cause of
death . . .  Meanwhile, an officer was sent to Brooklyn, and at No. 54 Sands
street it was found that the deceased was a man named John DALY, who boarded
there, and who was employed at the shop of Goodenough Horseshoeing Company
at 63 Henry street , in this city.
The remainder of the story is better told by the friends of the deceased
upon whom a reporter of the Union Argus called today, and their statements
throw considerable light upon the mystery. All those acquainted with him,
and the members of Stella Lodge, believe that he was foully dealt with.
Edward CRONK, the Noble Grand of the Lodge and H. VAN DUSON  (or DUSEN), the
Deputy-grand, were appointed a Committee on Arrangements for the funeral and
they telegraphed to the Morgue this morning that James HARPER, the
undertaker of this city, would call for the body today. They also consulted
with Mr. C. H. SMITH, the gentleman with whose family the deceased boarded,
at 54 Sands street, and he willingly consented to have the funeral take
place from there at half-past two o’clock tomorrow afternoon. . .

A DEAD MAN
Found with Three Bullet Holes in Him
A Farmer’s Startling Discovery - Did the Deceased Commit Suicide? -
Description of the Remains
Henry S. HUWALD, a farmer, while passing through Bushwick avenue early this
morning, saw a man lying at the corner of Hull street. Supposing him to be
sleeping off the effects of a debauch, or, at the worst, suffering from
illness, he stopped his team, alighted from his wagon and approached him. To
his dismay, he discovered blood-stains on the man’s garments, and a nearer
examination revealed a revolver lying on the ground near by.  Realizing that
a dreadful deed had been committed, he hurriedly made his way to the Ninth
Sub-Precinct Station-house, and alarmed the police.
Sergeant in Command DUNNE, taking several officers, at once started for the
locality designated and found the remains as described. The police removed
the body to the station house and there proceeded to give the clothing and
effects of the deceased a thorough overhauling in the hope of obtaining some
clue that would lead to the identification of the body and the clearing up
of the mystery in which the case was shrouded.
THREE BULLET WOUNDS were found, in the head and body, corresponding with
three discharged chambers of the revolver found by the side of the deceased.
The man himself was about thirty years of age, five feet five inches in
height, with dark hair and light moustache. The clothing consisted of a dark
plaid suit, black Derby hat with crape on it, white shirt and undershirt,
drawers, white stockings, and laced shoes. There was a single gold stud in
the shirt bosom. Besides this there were found a box of pistol cartridges, a
pawn ticket for a gold finger ring, issued in the name of SMITH, on July 5,
by GREEN’s pawn office, No. 171 Bowery, New York, and two cuff buttons made
of silver currency, and marked with the monogram 'S'. Around the waist of
the deceased was a truss.
The Coroner being notified, caused the remains to be removed to the Morgue.
From the position in which the body lay when it was found, and the presence
of the pistol, it looks very much as though the case were one of suicide,
especially as none of the effects on the body were disturbed, which would
not have been the case had the deceased met his death at the hands of
robbers. The crape on the hat, the pawn ticket in the pocket, and the
absence of money and two of the shirt studs, would seem to point to self
murder as the result of domestic bereavement or pecuniary embarrassment.
Some argue that many wounds in seemingly vital spots could not have been
self inflicted, but until Dr. SHEPARD has made a post-mortem examination,
this theory can only be classed among conjectures based upon mere assumption.
Detective MURPHY ascertained beyond doubt that the deceased has for some
time been loitering about East New York.

A SUICIDE IDENTIFIED
The man whose body was found in Bushwick avenue on Saturday, with bullet
wounds in the head and chest, was yesterday identified at the Morgue as
Francis STOUDER, a dissipated tailor whose wife and two children reside in
East New York. Three years ago this month his crippled brother committed
suicide because he had been disappointed in love, and the very cuff buttons
found on the body of Francis STOUDER were the ones which his brother wore
when he took his life. The inquest will be held this afternoon by Coroner SIMMS.

DIPHTHERIA
Death of a Promising Physician, Dr. G. P. KISSAM  - Condition of Police
Captain Leich and Family
Dr. George PURDY KISSAM, of No. 181 Schermerhorn street died at a quarter
after nine o’clock, yesterday morning, of diphtheria. It is supposed that he
contracted the disease attending a case in the family in Downing street. The
disease showed itself a week ago yesterday evening, and although the best of
medical attention was bestowed upon the patient the malady ran to a fatal
termination. The physicians in attendance were distant relatives of the sick
man - Police Surgeon Daniel E. KISSAM, Dr. Robert ORNISTON, Jr., and Dr. S.
Fleet SPEIR. Though the patient’s sufferings were intense toward the last,
he yet retained full control of his senses, and after giving his wife some
advice as to the future, calmly bade her adieu and died, confiding to her
care their two little children. When the funeral will take place has not
been decided, as the family are waiting to hear from distant relatives. The
deceased was born at Manhassett, L.I., and was about 30 years of age. He
graduated as Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College, and then obtained his
physician’s diploma after studying in the Medical Department of the
University of the City of New York. He was considered a young man of
promise, and some times temporarily performed the duties of police surgeon
in the absence of Dr. D. E. KISSAM. He attended Rev. TALMAGE’s church and in
social life had many friends. His case closely resembles that of a young Dr.
HUTCHINSON, of Clinton avenue, who died a few months ago.

Captain O.B. LEICH, of the Fourth Precinct, was no better this morning
according to reports received at Headquarters. His wife and some children
are also afflicted with the disease.

10 July 1877
John K. MUNDELL, the well known fish dealer, of No. 36 Myrtle avenue, died
suddenly last evening while standing in front of his residence, No. 41
Myrtle avenue, from heart disease, aged sixty-three. His death, though
sudden, was not altogether unexpected, as he had been ailing for some time
past. The father of the deceased was an Englishman, and settled in Brooklyn
fifty years ago. There were several brothers, all of whom settled in this
city, and became actively engaged in its material affairs. Mr. J. K. MUNDELL
was a house carpenter by trade, and was at one time employed in the Navy
Yard. He subsequently became engaged in the grocery business in the Fifth
Ward, and at another time he was a constable in the Third Ward. At the
organization of the Metropolitan Police in 1851 he was appointed an aid to
Superintendent John S. FOLK, and held the position for one year. During the
time he was on the force he made some very clever arrests. He was a member
of Engine Company, No. 3 [or 8], of the old Fire Department from 1830 till
1851. Twenty-two years ago he went into the fish business on Myrtle avenue,
where he was actively engaged up to the time of his death. He also had a
branch store on Fulton street. In his last venture he was very successful,
and accumulated some property. He was kind to his relatives, and was always
ready to give liberally of his means when necessity required it. At the
Brooklyn Theatre fire, Dec. 5, he occupied an orchestra seat, and was one of
the last persons to leave the place. His testimony before the Coroner’s jury
in regard to that affair was, to some extent, quite amusing. Mr. Charles
MUNDELL, shoe dealer, of No. 298 Fulton street, is a brother of the
deceased, as is also Jeremiah MUNDELL, painter, No. 145 Fulton street,
another brother, Albert is in the stove business on Myrtle avenue. Mr.
MUNDELL leaves a widow and six children. One son and four daughters are married.

12 July 1877
DEATH OF HENRY C. FOSTER, SR.
Henry C. FOSTER, SR., one of the oldest brewers in the city of Brooklyn,
died suddenly yesterday at his residence, No. 64 Hicks street. Mr. FOSTER
was a well-known citizen and established the Star Excelsior Brewery, No. 38
Cranberry street, which he conducted for a number of years. About two years
ago he became embarrassed in business affairs and went into bankruptcy.
Subsequently he became involved in vexatious and expensive litigation in
reference to possession of his brewery. Recently a new vexation presented
itself to him owing to a misalliance his daughter made in marrying a young
man in New York. Mr. FOSTER at one time was a man of considerable means and
enjoyed a good business and social reputation, but owing to adverse
circumstances he became involved in difficulties that no doubt hastened his
demise. He was married twice. He leaves a widow and three children, one of
the latter, an adult son, who succeeds his father in brewing business.
The funeral will take place to-morrow at two P.M., from Mr. FOSTER’s late residence.

DROWNED AT RARITAN BEACH
Said Death of a Son of a Brooklyn Journalist
Mr. Charles H. HANNAM, of No. 623 Herkimer street, one of the Brooklyn’s
most respected journalists, met with a sever affliction yesterday, in the
death by drowning of his son Henry, a bright, spirited boy of twelve years.
The little fellow was an attendant upon the Sunday school of the
Congregational Church of the Mediator, in Rochester avenue, corner of
Herkimer street, and yesterday went on the annual excursion of the school to
Raritan Beach, on the New Jersey shore. Henry went in bathing with a number
of his associates, and it is presumed from the meager reports of the
disaster that have reached this city, ventured beyond his depth and was
drowned before assistance could reach him. The body was not recovered. Mr.

SUSPECTED OF GUNSER MURDER
The arrest of George MICHEL and Jacob EISLE, by Detectives CORR and ZUNDT,
upon suspicion of complicity in the murder of John GUNSER, at East
Williamsburgh, has revived the interest in the tragedy. That one of the
prisoners is in the possession of evidence that will go far toward clearing
up the mystery is considered certain, and the officers have already
succeeded in placing in the hands of District Attorney DOWNING much valuable
information. The prisoners were arraigned before Justice MARSHALL, at
Newtown, on Saturday, and elected to be examined separately. George MICHEL
was placed at the bar, D. L. NORTON appeared for the People, and J.
Frederick HATCH for the prisoner. Three witnesses, August SCHREIN, Mrs.
Sophia DUESTER and Mrs. Mary DIETRICH declared that they had heard MICHEL
threaten to 'fix' GUNSER.
(7 September 1877)
THE GUNSER MURDER
The examination of Jacob EISLE, charged with the murder of Jacob GUNSER, at
East Williamsburgh, was continued before Justice MARSHALL at Newtown
yesterday.  As in the previous investigation, much time was consumed by
counsel for the prisoner objecting to the questions of the District
Attorney, and the manner in which they were asked.  The examination of Mrs.
GUNSER and the testimony of KLINE were very damaging to the defendant.
After the testimony of several other witnesses had been taken the
prosecution rested, with the understanding that the testimony of Dr. STAHL
and Mrs. GEBHARD should be taken by the Justice and read at the next
examination.  An adjournment soon followed till the 18th inst.

{26 July 1877}
A Statement by Michel, the Suspected Accessory-Reports of New & Important Evidence.
       George MICHEL, who was arrested by the police of this city, with Jacob 
EISLER, on suspicion of being an accessory to the murder of John GUNSER, the 
East Williamsburgh saloon-keeper, occupies a cell in the Court House at 
Hunter's Point, awaiting further examination on Monday next.
       MICHEL says he knew nothing of the murder till the following morning 
when he went out to feed his pigs and was told by a neighbor.  He then went 
to GUNSER's and joined the crowd who surrounded the house.  He declares he 
had not been inside GUNSER's house in two years previous.  GUNSER built the 
house which led to a quarrel over financial matters a long time ago.  The 
murdered man's father openly accused Mrs. GUNSER of murdering her husband to 
MICHEL, who repeated the story to the neighbors.  This inflamed Mrs. GUNSER, 
who threatened to sue him for slander, and had him imprisoned.  One one 
occasion, while old Mr. GUNSER and others were in the room where Mrs. GUNSER 
was lying asleep, some one inquired, "Who do you thnk murdered your son?"  
"There lies the murderer," replied the old man, excitedly lifting the bed 
clothes off Mrs. GUNSER, but without disturbing her.
       A more important statement is that some two weeks ago Mrs. GUNSER's 
oldest stepson, August, became excited during a family discussion.  Drawing a 
revolver he fired three shots at his mother (Mrs. GUNSER), declaring that he 
would not live in the same house with a murderess.  He intended killing her 
and then committing suicide.  This statement is current among the residents 
of Middle Village.  MICHEL is confident that Mrs. GUNSER murdered her 
husband, but he does not assign any reason.  He declares that he has plenty 
of friends in East Williamsburgh who will stand by him.  MICHEL is apparently 
in ill health, and is nervous, but gave his statement in a self possessed 
manner.  During the past few days the officers are said to have succeeded in 
obtaining some important evidence  which is for the present withheld from the public.

MISERY AND DEATH.A GERMAN TINSMITH COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Old Story of Dissipation and Domestic Estrangement-The Body Four Days Undiscovered.
       Gotheb HEYDEL, sixty-three years of age, separated about six years ago 
from his wife and eight children on account of his dissipated habits, which 
made it impossible for them longer to live together.  They took up their 
residence at No. 258 Ellery street, while he hired a room in a house at the 
corner of St. Marks and Buffalo avenues, where he has since resided, 
supporting himself by working at tinsmithing.  Once alone he abandoned 
himself to drink, almost every cent that he could make above the price of his 
board and lodgings finding its way into the till of the liquor saloon.  Last 
Sunday        HE DID NOT APPEAR
as usual, and yesterday other residents of the house detected such a foul 
odor emanating from his room that they became convinced that he must be dead, 
and summoned the police of the Twelfth Precinct to make an investigation.  
Roundsman BABCOCK and Detective MAY accordingly burst in the door of the 
room, and found HEYDEL lying dead on the bed, his throat cut from ear to ear. 
Clutched in one hand, was the razor with which he committed the deed,
       CLOTTED WITH BLOOD,
which had spurted in every direction, and dyed the bed-clothes a sickening 
red.  The remains were so much decomposed that it was evident the deed had 
been committed so far back as Sunday.  The supposition is that the deceased 
in a fit of remorse for his wasted opportunities, heightened by grief at 
separation from his family, deliberately committed suicide.  Coroner SIMMS 
ordered the remains properly cared for.

John SCHUAB, soon after discovered him lying almost at the point of death,

RUM AND THE KNIFE-TRAGIC ENDING OF A SATURDAY NIGHT'S CAROUSEL.
A Saloon-keeper Fatally Stabbed in His Own Bar-room, by a Dissipated Youth, 
at Two o'Clock on Sunday Morning -- Arrest of the Assailant, and Ante-mortem 
Statement of the Dying Man.
       A tragic ending of a Saturday night's carousel occurred in Thomas 
DORAN's bar-room, at No. 452 Fulton street, about two o'clock on Sunday 
morning, when Frank McNALLY, a youth of only eighteen years, fatally stabbed 
DORAN, after having abused him and created a disturbance in his saloon, with 
three companions.  It appears that McNALLY entered DORAN's place about 
midnight, with three other young men, named Michael TODD, Patrick McKENNA, 
and John DUFFY.  DORAN's son was in charge of the bar-room, and after McNALLY 
and his companions had been drinking for about two hours, they became 
turbulent and quarrelsome.
       DORAN, who had been asleep upstairs, was awakened by the noise, and he 
descended to the bar room, where McNALLY and his companions had just refused 
to pay for the liquor they had drank.  He remonstrated with them, and one of 
them threw a glass of beer in his face, and the others quickly extinguished 
the gas.  DORAN then seized a club to drive the young men into the street.  
All but McNALLY ran out through the hallway to the street, but the latter 
remained in the hallway, and attempted to disarm DORAN.  
DURING THE STRUGGLE
between DORAN and McNALLY, the former struck McNALLY on the head with the 
club, inflicting two slight scalp wounds.  McNALLY then drew a large sharp 
pointed knife and stabbed DORAN in the left breast immediately over the 
heart, inflicting a wound his recovery from which is regarded as impossible.  
DORAN sank down upon the floor and soon became insensible.  McNALLY fled to 
the street, where he seized an empty lager beer keg which he hurled through 
the window of the saloon, completely demolishing the window.
       Detective CURRAN and Patrolman DUNHAM, who were near by, and whose 
attention was attracted by the noise of the breaking glass, saw and pursued 
McNALLY, who fled as far as Gallatin place, where he was captured.  McNALLY 
was taken to the Washington street police station, where his knife, still 
open, and with the blade still blood stained, was found in his pocket.  He 
resolutely refused to say anything about the tragic occurrence, and he 
declines to make any statement whatever.  He was locked up for the night, as 
were also his companions, who were arrested soon after the stabbing.
THE WOUNDED SALOON KEEPER
who is about forty-five years old, and has a wife and several children, was 
formerly a police officer.  He was taken to the City Hospital, where he now 
lies in a critical condition.

THE GUNSER HOMICIDE.
Examination of the Prisoner George MICHEL -- Witnesses Denounce Each Other -- 
The Testimony Not Important -- Another Adjournment
       The examination of George MICHEL, barber, of East Williamsburgh, 
charged with the murder of John GUNSER, on May 14 ult., was continued before 
Police Justice MARSHALL, in Newtown, L.I., yesterday.  The affair attracted a 
large number of spectators, all evidently anxious to hear anything that will 
tend to clear up the mystery which now surrounds the crime in question.  The 
accused sat quietly surrounded by his family, and beyond a word now and then 
at low breath with his counsel, betrayed no extraordinary interest in the 
proceedings.  His wife, however, broke out in loud denunciations of the 
witnesses against her husband, Mrs. GUNSER, the widow of the murdered man, 
stood up in the back part of the court room, and eagerly watched the 
proceedings.  There was much ill feeling exhibited by the witnesses, and it 
required great determination on the part of the Justice to keep them in order. 
       Fred. SCHRIER, GUNSER's partner in leasing the lot of ground which 
MICHEL had already planted, and which act is given as the cause of the 
murder, gave the history of the lot transaction.  He testified that Mrs. 
GUNSER knew her husband was dead shortly after he was struck.
       August SCHRIER testified that he saw a light in the upper story of 
MICHEL's residence 2 1/2 A.M. on the morning of the murder, and showed it to 
Constable LAUBY.
       John MANNHARDT, of this city, testified that while in GUNSER's 
bar-room on the morning of the murder, Jacob EISLE entered, and after looking 
at the corpse, moved away, saying: "This is a horrible thing."  and then 
wringing his hands and addressing witness, he said:  "I didn't do it, God be 
my witness."  This was before he had been accused, or even suspected of any 
participation in the murder.  Old man GUNSER told witness on June 11 that 
Mrs. GUNSER killed her husband, and witness had shouted it out in the street 
more than once since.  
       John GUNSER, father of the murdered man, testified that he had told 
several persons before he reached the scene of the tragedy that he thought 
his son's wife had commiteed the murder curing (sic) a quarrel, but after 
reaching the house he changed his opinion.
       Alfred A. WIENTGE testified that Adam MARTIN, GUNSER's workman, told 
him that he knew who was the murderer, and that he believed Mrs. GUNSER 
killed her husband.  
       Adam MARTIN was then called, and flatly contradicted WIENTGE's testimony.
       Jacob EISLE, who had been arrested as an accomplice with MICHEL, but 
afterwards discharged, testified that with one exception he had not been in 
GUNSER's house since January 1 last.
       Mrs. Elizabeth KIRCHNER and Mrs. Louisa HELM then testified to ill 
feeling between GUNSER and his wife, and Mrs. Agatha EISLE to the bad 
reputation of Mrs. GUNSER as given by her father-in-law.  The last witness 
also said that Mr. GUNSER had told her over twenty times that she had 
certainly killed his son.  
       The case was then further adjourned till Saturday next.

Result of the Post-mortem Examination -Impanelment of a Coroner's Jury.
A post-mortem examination was made yesterday afternoon, at the City Hospital, 
by Dr. A.W. SHEPARD, as already announced, on the body of Thomas DORAN, 
the saloon keeper, of 452 Fulton street, who ws fatally stabbed in 
his saloon with a knife in the hands of the youth Edward MCNALLY, 
about two o'clock on Sunday moring.  The autopsy revealed an incised 
wound through the cartilege of the fourth rib on the left side , and 
also through the pericardium or sac containing the heart.  Death was 
clearly the result of active inflammation superinduced by the wound.  
After the autopsy the body was removed to the late residence of the 
deceased, where he leaves a wife and a large family of children, and 
whence it will be taken to Calvary Cemetery for interment to-morrow morning.

Coroner SIMMS impaneled a jury as follows this afternoon:  
George H. HUDSON,livery stable keeper, 397 Bridge street; 
H.M. WINTER, millinery, 489 Fulton street; 
Wm. J. HOSFORD, plumber, 145 Lawrence street; 
Frederick FINEN, shoe dealer, 525 Fulton street,; 
M.J. CARNEY, shoe dealer, 47 Prospect place; 
George W. LEWIS, auctioneer, 434 Gold street; 
H.C. MUNDELL, shoe dealer, 315 Fulton street; 
L.F. MEYER, jewelry clerk, 409 Bridge street; 
T.J. FAGAN, shoe dealer, 509 Fulton street; 
William E. MCNULTY, clerk, 203 Livingston street.
The jury viewed the body immediately after the impanelment, and the 
inquest was set down to be held at the Morgue at 10:30 A.M. next 
Monday. Young MCNALLY will meanwhile remain in the Raymond street Jail.  

A Widow's Lonely Death
Mrs. BENTA, a widow, about fifty years old who lived on the top floor 
of the three story and bsaement brick house No. 425 Atlantic avenue, 
between Bond and Nevins streets, retired to her apartments from the 
stoop of the house on the evening of July 24, after having complained 
to her neighbors that she was suffering from cholera morbus.  Nothing 
being seen or heard from her on the succeeding day or two it was surmised 
that she had gone to visit her son, a painter, who was at work at 
Plainfield, N.J., Yesterday, however, a strange odor emanating from 
her rooms so permeated the house that Detective RIGGS and Patrolman DUNHAM, 
of the First Precinct, were called in.  The officers forced open the door 
of the sleeping apartment of Mrs. BANTA and found her dead body in the bed.  
As the deceased weighed about 250 pounds her remains had decomposed rapidly 
and were in an advanced stage of decay when found.  Coroner SIMMS, who was 
notified, took charge of a gold watch, a bank book and other personal 
property of the deceased, and ordered that the body should be delivered 
to her friends.  He thinks death was a result of exhaustion from her illness.

DEATH OF DORAN-Fatal Ending of Young McNALLY's Saturday Night Carousal.  
       Thomas DORAN, the saloon keeper, of No. 452 Fulton street, who was 
stabbed in the left breast just above the heart, with a large pocketknife in 
the hands of the youth, Edward McNALLY, of No. 233 Smith street, about two 
o'clock on Sunday morning, died about 4:30 this morning, in the City 
Hospital, to which he was taken immediately after he was wounded.  Coroner 
SIMMS, who has been informed of the death, has requested Dr. SHEPHARD to 
perform an autopsy on the body, which will probably be done this afternoon, 
and an inquest will then be promptly held.   The particulars of the tragic 
occurrence were fully reported in yesterday's UNION-ARGUS.  The arrest of 
McNALLY was yesterday erroneously attributed to Detective CURRAN.  The arrest 
was made by Special Officer George CURRAN, whose fleetness of foot enabled 
him to outrun other officers and catch the young ruffian. 

SUICIDAL WOMEN.
Self Destruction of a Domestic Servant and Attempted Suicide of an Unhappy Wife.
       Amelia KROOS, aged thirty, employed as a household servant by Charles 
BISCHOFF, grocer, at 676 Hicks streets, committed suicide about five o'clock 
this morning by hanging herself with a piece of a clothes-line from a hook in 
the closet of her bedroom.  Mrs. BISHOP, who thought she was oversleeping, 
went to her room to call her when she discovered the suicide.  The body was 
promptly cut down, but life was already extinct.  The deceased, who was a 
native of Germany, is supposed to have been suffering from temporary 
insanity, caused by grief at her abandonment by a young man who had been in 
the habit of visiting her with supposed matrimonial intentions.  Coroner 
SIMMS will hold an inquest.
[note:  surname of deceased's employer spelled two different ways in article.]

The Death of Wendell Phillips' Sister
Mrs. Sarah H. GRAY, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who died suddenly last week at 
her summer lodgings in Longmeadow, at the age of seventy-eight, was a 
daughter of John PHILLIPS, of Boston, and sister of Wendell PHILLIPS, 
of this city.  She was first married to the Rev. Francis JENCKS of this 
city, who died in New York in 1832.  Several years after his death she 
was married again to Professor Alonzo GRAY, then of Andover, afterward 
founder and President of a ladies seminary in Brooklyn.  Since the death 
of Professor Gray, in 1860, she has contined to reside in that city.  
Mary ELWELL, the eldest daughter, is the wife of the Rev. Dr. R.S. STORRS.  
Alice, the youngest of her children, is the wife of the 
Rev. Dr. Frederick H. COLTON.  Outside of her family circle the unusual 
social accomplishments of Mrs. Gray attracted to her many admiring 
friends.  A slight paralytic stroke in February last had for a time 
fettered and enfeebled her, both in body and mind.  But she had in a 
good degree recovered from this, and was able to come a fortnight since 
to her summer quarters at Longmeadow.  On the morning of the day on 
which she died, Monday July 23, she had walked with her daughter under 
the elms, along the quiet and shaded walks with which she had been 
long familiar; but in the afternoon the summons came, and she sank 
peacefully, without pain, into the last sleep.  The funeral services 
were held at Longmeadow on Wednesday afternoon. -- Boston Advertiser.

GERMAN CREMATION
It appears to be a fact that the German society for the introduction of 
cremation has paid the sum of fifteen thousand marks to the town of Gotha, to 
cover the necessary expenses of erecting a cremation apparatus.  Strict 
regulations have also been published by the police, ordering the examination 
by competent medical officers of all bodies submitted to be burned, so as to 
prevent cremation in all cases where the causes of death have not been 
properly ascertained.  In order to still further guard against abuse, bodies 
sent to Gotha from abroadd are to be subjected to the same, or even more 
stringent rules, before being received for the operation. No corpse is to be 
burned unless the deceased has expressed a wish to that effect and the 
relatives have approved.

Osceola COOPER, the nephew of Osceola, the Seminole chief, was the son of 
John Osceola POWELL, a brother of the chief, his mother being a Spanish lady. 
 His father was adopted by Mr. Solomon COOPER, of New York, and hence the 
change of name.  The death of Mr. Cooper gave Osceola a large fortune.  This 
he wasted very considerably, but there remains about $80,000, chiefly in real 
estate, some of which lies in this city.  His property before his death was 
deeded to Mr. and Mrs. DYER, of Bergen Point, old friends, who had been kind 
to him.  Osceola died suddenly in a lodging-house in Bond street, New York, 
two days ago.

A Fatal Jump

Sudden Death
Charles TRAUB, forty-six years of age, fell dead in front of his place of 
business at No. 113 Bowery, New York, about ten o'clock this morning.  His

A Ghastly Reception
A Woman calls on her Brother and Finds that he has Committed Suicide
Mrs. Ann FLETCHER called yesterday afternoon at No. 458 Carroll street, to 
see her brother John FRENCHARD, a widower, forty-five years of age, who has 
occupied a room on the second floor of the premises for some months past.  
Ascending to his room she knocked on the door and receiving no reply, finally 
turned the knob and entered. On the floor lay the dead body of her brother, 
the face livid from congested blood.  Tightly knotted about his neck was a 
sheet twisted into a rope. Physicians were called and expressed the opinion 
that TRENCHARD had been dead several hours.  Police Captain CAMPBELL, of the 
Tenth Precinct, upon investigation satisfied himself that the unfortunate man 
had supended himself from a hook driven into the door, but that the hook had 
eventually broken.  The body was removed to the Morgue.  No explanation as to 
the motive prompting the rash act is given.

opposite the drug store into which he had been taken when their attention was 
attracted by the crowd which had gathered, and the child, entering the store 
to see what was the matter, was shocked to see her dying father on the floor. 
 Mrs. FENDICK was instantly by his side, but he did not recognize her, dying

BENJAMIN BLOSSOM
Another of Brooklyn's oldest and most respected citizens, Benjamin BLOSSOM, 
passed to his rest on Monday inst., in the eighty-eighth year of his age.  
Deceased was born at Fairhaven, Mass., in 1790 and in 1811 came to New York 
where for upwards of fifty years he held a high position among the merchants 
of that city.  His business was in cotton and naval stores, which he carried 
on very successfully through a long course of years.  In 1861 he retired from 
active business life.  For over forty years he resided in this city and at 
the time of his death was living with his son, Mr. Josiah E. BLOSSOM, of 440 
Henry street.  The resolutions adopted by the naval store trade, following 
the notice of Mr. BLOSSOM's death in another column, show the high estimation 
in which he was held by those who knew him in business.  He was as stated "a 
true type of the Christian merchant and gentleman."  Deceased was a member of 
the First Unitarian Church in this city, formerly Rev. Dr. FARLEY's, and of 
which Rev. Dr. A.P. PUTNAM is now pastor.  In politics Mr. BLOSSOM was a 
strong Henry Clay Whig, but he never aspired to political office, and never 
held one, but he always took a lively interest in everything connected with 
the welfare of the city of Brooklyn.  He often spoke with pride of the growth 
of the city, and his early recollections of the "village" were amusing and 
interesting.  Deceased was a direct descendant of Thomas BLOSSOM, who was the 
first deacon elected by the Pilgrims, at Plymouth Mass, about the year 1637.
The funeral will take place at three o'clock tomrorow afternoon, from 440 
Henry street, and will be attended by a delegation of New York merchants, 
representing the naval store trade, and others.  Rev. Drs. FARLEY and PUTNAM 
will participate in the services.  The remains will be interred in the family 
lot at Greenwood.

DIED OF EXHAUSTION
A Young New Yorker Rescued from the Surf at Rockaway, Expires Three Days 
Afterwards - Something about Ryder, the Expert Swimmer
In the surf in front of Peter MAGERUS' hotel at Rockaway on last Sunday 
afternoon, a bather was noticed, who seemed to be getting exahuasted.  He was 
out in deep water, and after a little splashing was seen to go down all of a 
sudden and rise no more.  So quickly did he disappear that the expert 
swimminer, Mr. Dominick RYDER, whose attention had been called to the man, 
reached the water only to see bubbles on the surface.  Diving after the body 
of the man, he brought it ashore, where it was found the man was unconscious 
and seemingly drowned.  Dr. FREEMAN and another physician, a stranger at the 
beach, after long working managed to revive the man, who proved to be John 
THOMPSON, twenty-three years of age, a sign painter, residing at Cosmopolitan 
Hotel, Catharine street, New York.  The man remained in a very feeble 
condition at Magerus' Hotel until yesterday afternooon, his relatives in New 
York having been notified, but refusing to take him home.  While on his way 
to St. Catharine's Hospital, under the charge of Mr. RYDER yesterday 
afternoon, young THOMPSON died in the Bushwick depot of the Long Island 
Railroad.  Coroner NOLAN at once took charge of the body, impanelled a jury, 
who viewed the body at the Sixth Precinct Station house last night, after 
which the corpse was sent to the Eastern District Morgue.
Mr. RYDER, who rescued THOMPSON, deserves more than a passing notice.  Since 
his employment as swimminer at Magerus' and Wyble's Hotels, he has saved many 
lives. The guests at Rockaway last September presented him with a valuable 
gold medal for his successful efforts during the season and this season he 
has rescued Mr. and Mrs. BRUENING, of Sixth avenue, New York; John FERGUSON, 
of Forty-second street, New York; John THOMPSON, the man who died last night, 
and also recovered the body of the man BRANDISHNER, of 52 Throop avenue, who 
was drowned in front of Kreuscher's Hotel, a few Sundays since.

21 August 1877
Brooklyn Lawyer's Body found in a Kentucky Thicket
The Skull Fractured, but the Pockets not Rifled - A Theory of Suicide 
Entertained by the friends, and One of Murder by the Police - Detectives at 
Work investigating the Tragic Mystery

A tragic mystery was disclosed on Sunday when the body of James H. MACKEY, a 
well known lawyer of this city, was found by W.W. SOUTHGATE, a farmer, lying 
in a dense thicket on his farm, about three miles south of Newport, Ky.  The 
identity of the body was established by papers found with it, showing that 
the deceased was a member of the late law firm, LEWIS & MACKEY of No. 367 
Fulton Street.  In the pockets were also found $155, a railroad ticket 
originally issued from New York to St. Louis, from which had been taken the 
coupons from New York to Cincinnati, another railroad ticket from St. Louis 
to Denver, a number of business letters, cards, and other small articles. The 
body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, and as soon as Farmer 
Southgate informed Coroner Winslow of his horrible discovery , the latter 
took charge of the remains, and had them conveyed to Stahl's livery stable at Newport.
A Post-Mortem examination by Dr. DAVIS, of Newport, revealed a fracture of 
the skull at the base of the brain but on account of the decomposed state of 
the body, it was impossible to determine whether there were any bruises.  
Coroner WINSLOW impaneled a jury and held an inquest, but could obtain no 
satisfactory evidence as to the manner in which the skull had been fractured. 
 The jury after viewing the body and listening t othe testimony of Farmer 
SOUTHGATE and Dr. Davis rendered the following verdict:  "We, the Jury, find 
that the body is that of J.A. MACKEY, of the firm of LEWIS & MACKEY, 
Brooklyn, N.Y.We further find that the deceased came to his death by violence 
but by whom or when we are unable to judge."  Coroner Winslow caused the 
remains to be kept in the livery stable at Newport, which being only a small 
place has no Morgue, and sent information of the tragedy to this city by 
means of a telegraphic despatch, the address for which was taken from a 
business card found among the papers of the deceased, as follows:
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 20 
To MACKEY & Lewis, Attorneys at Law, No. 367 Fulton street
Found the body of J.H. MACKEY, on the hills back of Newport, three miles.  
What disposition shall I make of the body? Answer immediately care Betz's 
Stable, Newport.O.M. WINSLOW, Coroner C. Co.
Mr. LEWIS being out of town, his clerk, who received the despatch, proceeded 
to hunt for the relatives of the deceased.  Inquiry at the boarding house at 
No. 376 where MACKEY, who was a bachelor, had lived for a long time, showed 
that he had an uncle who is a priest in Ogdensburg, a married sister at 
Yonkers, an unmarried sister at the Convent of the Sacred Heart

The Mackey Mystery
Arrangements to Disinter the Dead Lawyer's Body- a Coroner's Extortionate Demands
Miss M. MACKEY, sister of the late James H. MACKEY, of this city, and Mr. 
Charles RAMSEY, an intimate friend of the deceased visited Newport, Kentucky 
yesterday, and arranged to have the body exhumed to-day for a thorough 
medical examination by competent medical men.  On Saturday Miss MACKEY 
visited the spot where the remains were found, accompanied by the detectives 
and others, and also conversed with people who had seen her brother in that 
vicinity on the 3d instant.  She came away convinced that the theory of death 
from natural causes was probably the true one, as is now generally believed 
in Cincinnati and Newport.
There is a general feeling that the actions of the Newport Coroner, and 
others connected with the recovery of the body, have been simply outrageous.  
Of the $155 found on his body, all but $8 have been paid out to the 
undertaker, physician, and Coroner, while the attentions given by these 
persons and services rendered were of the cheapest and most ordinary 
character.  Their conduct is condemned in the strongest terms by the Mayor of 
Newport, and by citizens both of Newport and Cincinnati.  A careful 
examination of the skull of the deceased will be made today, after which the 
remains will be shipped to New York for interment.
The bill of the undertaker alone was $116, which was charged for services and 
material worth less than $50.  There are many who advise legal proceedings 
against the mercenary officials to compel them to restore a part of the 
money, and to punish them for taking it.

rapid progress in his profession was called to a responsible position in 
Sherman's Art Gallery Nos, 276 and 278 Fulton street.  While engaged in this 
establishment Mr. BRASIER's success was so marked that he was soon placed in 
entire charge, and subsequently became the proprietor.  As a  photo artist he 
was regarded as one of the best in Brooklyn.  The illness which resulted in 
his demise was sudden and unexpected.  On Saturday last he was at his place 
of business as usual.  On Sunday he complained of feeling very unwell, and 
the best medical aid was called in, but proved unavailing.  His death was one 
of peculiar solemnity, and in his last hours he was surrounded by his wife, 
six little children, and friends, to all of whom he bade an affectionate 
farewell. Mr. BRASIER was highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances, 
and his death will be received with profound regret . He was in the 
thirty-eighth year of his age and was a prominent member for many year of

Explosion in New York-One Brooklyn Man Killed and Another Wounded
Yesterday afternoon at 3:30, an explosion occurred in the manufactory of the 
New York Calcium Light Company, at Nos. 414 and 416 Bleecker street, which 
caused the almost instant death of one of the workmen, John BOERMI, aged 
fifty of No. 515 Flashing avenue, this city.  He is the foreman in the shop 
and was finishing the tank which exploded at the time of the accident.  This 
tank was about four feet high, and about one and a half feet in diameter.  It 
was filled with some twenty-five cubic feet of oxygen gas. It was made of the 
best boiler plate-iron, strongly riveted, and had been tested under a 
hydraulic process, and proved capable of sustaining a pressure of 600 pounds 
to the square inch, but none of the tanks are often put under a greater 
pressure than 225 pounds to the square inch. BOERMI was putting a brass 
plate, with the manufacturers' address on it, on the top of the tank and 
attempted to fasten it by soldering.  He used a red hot soldering iron for 
that purpose, and the result was a heating and consequent expansion of the 
contained gas.  The explosion ripped the tank into fragments.  The top was 
torn off, and it was split down the entire side, one full set of rivets was 
ripped out and a piece of one of the sides about a foot in diameter was blown 
out.  BOERMI's last  side was torn wide open, his right arm lacerated and 
fractured, his upper jaw broken to fragments, and the left side of his face 
smashed and his right thigh torn and fractured.  He was taken to New York 
Hospital and lingered there until 4:15, when death put an end his sufferings. 
Wm. G. BANT, of No. 33 Goech [?] street, this city, as assistant workman, was 
also hurt by the explosion, about the hands and feet, but not so seriously as 
to prevent his taking care of himself and going home without any assistance.

Fr. Frederick F. PHILLIPS, of No. 142 Amity street, died on Monday at the age 
of thirty seven years, while he was temporarily sojourning at Catskill, New 
York.  He was one of the oldest members of the New York Maritime Association, 
at a meeting of which his death was solemnly announced yesterday.  He was 
well known among shipping men at this port, having been connected with the 
firm of J.B. Phillips & Co., 56 South street, until about a year ago, when he 
went into the firm of James E. WARD & Co., 113 Wall street.  His death is 
deplored by a large circle of friends.  The funeral will take place from his 
late residence in this city at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. James DYKES,
