KILLED BY A BOBTAIL CAR
   Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of
Robert MARSHALL, of 381 Clinton street, who died on June 5 from the effects
of injuries received by a fall from a conductorless car at the corner Church
and Greenwich street, New York.  Mr. MARSHALL died at his residence.
   Mrs. Jessie MARSHALL, widow of the dead man, testified that she and her
husband had been to Washington Market and were going to South Ferry in a car
of the South Ferry Railroad Company.  Mrs. MARSHALL sat inside, and her
husband stood on the rear platform.  The car was a "jigger," and on reaching
the corner of Greenwich and Church streets, turned into the former street
from Church.  The vehicle was going at a rapid speed, and as it turned Mr.
MARSHALL was thrown off, sustaining a fracture of the skull.
   The jury brought in the following verdict:  "We find that Robert MARSHALL
came to his death by injury to the brain, consequent upon a fracturing of
the skull, received from an accidental fall from the rear platform of a
railroad car of the South Ferry Railroad Company on June 5, 1882.  We find
that the cause of the accident was running the car too fast and turning
curve too quickly by which deceased was thrown from the car, and we censure
the company for not providing conductors on their cars and the driver for
turning the curve too fast."

LIKELY TO DIE
   A Wolcott Street Man Who Was Assaulted a Month Ago by an Austrian Sailor.
   Frank WILSON, aged 42 years, and living at No. 82 Wolcott street, on June
9 became engaged in an altercation with Basto SPETENOSA, an Austrian sailor,
in which WILSON was badly beaten.  He caused SPETENOSA's arrest on a charge
of assault and battery, a more serious charge being out of the question, as
WILSON bore no outward marks of the assault.  On the following day SPETENOSA
was arraigned before Justice BERGEN, who allowed him to go under a
suspension of sentence.  WILSON has since been lying at his home, attended
by Dr. DEUTSCHBERGER.  He appeared to be recovering until last night, when
serious symptoms appeared, showing that the patient was suffering from
concussion of the brain, the result of the injuries he received at SPETENOSA
's hands.  Word was sent to Capt. REILLY, of the Eleventh Precinct, an
officer of whose command arrested SPETENOSA originally, to re-arrest him if
he could be found.  This has not yet been accomplished.  WILSON grew so much
worse during the night that his death is regarded as a question of but a few
hours.  When this became evident word was sent to the Coroner to take the
injured man's ante-mortem statement.

Death of a Notorious Criminal
   Frank PORTER, a well-known burglar who has spent most of his life in
prison, died yesterday in the Penitentiary, where he was serving a five
years' sentence for burglary.  Death was due to a complication of disorders
brought on by debauchery.  The chief characteristic of the man was his
absolutely pitiless nature.  About a year ago he cut open a fellow convict's
face from his ear to his mouth simply because he took a dislike to the man.
Some years ago while in Sing Sing he tore out a fellow convict's eye and
threw it against the prison wall with a savage laugh.  Turning to a fellow
convict who was dying with consumption, a few days ago, PORTER gloating over
his misery said:  "Well, I'm dying now, but you'll not be long after me; you
'll have to go next."  When he first became dangerously ill he said he would
just as soon go to hell from the Penitentiary as from anywhere else.  PORTER
is an assumed name, and the man who died yesterday is not "Billy" PORTER the
well-known bank burglar, who is also an inmate of the Penitentiary.

that the poison had been administered by the father by mistake for syrup of
rhubarb.  Mrs. KNUDSEN was in the habit of taking opium to induce sleep.

12 July 1882
Daniel MAUJER
   Mr. Daniel MAUJER died yesterday at his late residence, No. 524 Grand
street, of acute rheumatism.  He was in his 72d year.  He was born in the
Island of Guernsey, and came to this country fifty-one years ago.  He had
resided; forty-one years in the house where he died, and during his long
residence in the Eastern District he did much to build up that portion of
the city, one of the streets of which bears his name.  Although a poor young
man when he came to this country, he succeeded by close attention to
business, honesty and good nature in building himself up financially and in
the hearts of his neighbors.  His paint store, on the corner of Fourth and
Grand streets, was a place of resort for many solid business men of the
'Burgh'.  There the members of old firms most did congregate to advise with
neighbor MAUJER, and many was the time when he extended substantial relief
to friends in difficulty.  For several years his paint business has been
carried on by his nephews.  He was one of the originators of the First
National Bank, and at the time of his death he was a director of that strong
financial institution.  In 1858 he represented the Fifteenth Ward in the
Board of Aldermen, and he took an active part in promoting the introduction
of Ridgewood water into the city.  Previous to that time he was a member of
the Board of Trustees of the village of Williamsburg, and Public School No.
18 was first opened in a building owned by him at the corner of Remsen
street and Graham avenue in 1842.  For eighteen years he has been a member
of the Board of Education, and most of that time he was Chairman of the
Committee on Schoolhouses.  This is one of the most important committees of
the Board.  When the late Mr. WHITLOCK died he was Vice-President of the
Board, and succeeded him as President.  For many years he was also a
Commissioner of Emigration.  He belonged to the M. E. Church, at the corner
of Ewen and Grand streets, and he was also a liberal subscriber to nearly
all the charitable associations of the Eastern District.  During the late
war Mr. MAUJER came prominently to the front as a supporter of President
LINCOLN's Administration, and although too old to go to the war himself, he
was the means of sending many young men there, and he contributed liberally
for the support of his country.
   His wife died some time ago and he left no children.
   A special meeting of the Board of Education will be held at 9 A.M.
to-morrow, for the purpose of taking appropriate action with respect to the
death of Mr. MAUJER.

Mr. William WARING, who for forty years had been a resident of this city,
and was well known as the head of the wholesale coffee and spice house, 74
Fulton street, died on Monday of congestion of the heart, at his house, 110
South Elliott place.  He had been complaining for about two months.  He
commenced business on Hicks street, near Fulton, about forty years ago and,
with the exception of a short time in Nassau street, had been located
between Fulton Ferry and the present store ever since.  He was twenty-one
years at 46 Fulton street.  Mr. WARING was born at Newburg on the Hudson,
and was 66 years of age.  He leaves a widow, three sons and one daughter.
The son William has been associated with his father in business some years.
Deceased was a member of the Hanson Place M. E. Church and was much
respected.  The funeral services will take place at the house at 4 P.M.
to-morrow.  Interment at Greenwood.

Wilhelm RETTIG, a well-known German journalist, was found dead in bed in
his room at No. 109 Nassau street last night.  Death is supposed to have
been caused by paralysis of the brain, due to the heat.  Mr. RETTIG was 36
years of age and was born in Hanover.  He studied philology at the
University of Gottingen and came to America in 1863 and settled in the West,
where he obtained employment on some German newspaper.  Coming East he
became connected with the "Frele Piesse," of this city and latterly with the
New York "Staats Zeltung."  He was a man of large attainments and a very
able journalist, and his geniality secured for him the friendship of all his
associates.  A sad circumstance in connection with his death is the fact
that a young lady to whom he was betrothed before leaving his native land is
now on her way to America for the purpose of becoming his wife.  Mr. RETTIG
had no relatives except an uncle in this country.  His father is Garrison,
Inspector of Withelmshaven.

John MURPHY's Death
   Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest in the case of the death of
John MURPHY, the 6-year-old boy who was drowned in the sewer at the foot of
Twenty-fifth street.  The evidence showed that MURPHY was discovered in the
sewer by three young men who were fishing near by.  They heard no outcry and
thought at first that what they saw was a cocoanut.  They believe that there
was a law against anyone but the authorities handling dead bodies, and
called Officer BOYLEN, of the Eighth Sub-Precinct, who secured the body.
The boy was still breathing, but all efforts to revive him were fruitless.
The jury found that the boy was accidentally drowned and blamed the persons
having charge of the sewer box, because they neglected to properly protect
and guard it.

HUNG WITH A CLOTHESLINE
The Suicide of an Eastern District Tinsmith - His  Deliberate Preparations
for Death
   Edward HOWARD, a tinsmith, employed in West street, New York, and living
at No. 352 First street, E.C., last night hung himself with a clothesline in
the cellar of his residence.  He has been drinking heavily of late and this
is supposed to have led him to take his life.  HOWARD was 50 years of age
and had a wife and three children.  About nine o'clock last night he left
his apartments and went down stairs without telling his wife where he was
going.  An hour later a man living in the house had occasion to go to the
cellar and there he found HOWARD dead.  The latter, on leaving his
apartments had procured a clothesline which he took with him to one of the
woodhouses.  There he divested himself of his hat, coat, vest, shirt and
shoes, fastened one end of the rope, which he doubled, over a beam, and the
other around his neck.  His feet, however, touched the ground, and he raised
them and hung in that position until death ensued.  When found one of his
feet and one knee touched the ground.  As he was regularly employed and
lived happily with his family, no other cause than drink can be assigned for
the act.

SHOOTING HIMSELF IN HER ROOM AT HER PARENTS' RESIDENCE
Made Desperate and Melancholy by Family Troubles - Her Determination to End
Her Life - Testimony Taken at the Inquest - The Verdict
   A First Precinct police officer, about half-past two o'clock yesterday
morning, while standing in the vicinity of Willoughby and Gold streets,
heard a pistol shot, but failed after an investigation to learn from where
it proceeded.  At No. 135 Willoughby street lives Mr. BEHM, with whom reside
his wife and two married daughters.  Neither of the latter, however, live
with their husbands.  The daughters - Elia LOWELL and Edith Louise BENNOR -
retired between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, each to her own
room.  About eight o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. BEHM went to Eliz's room
to call the latter.  The door was open and the mother called several times,
but receiving no reply entered and saw the daughter lying on the bed.  She
touched her and found that the body was cold.
   At her side lay a revolver, and in her right temple was a wound which had
caused her death.  Mrs. BEHM heard no pistol shot during the night.  She
says her daughter attempted to take her life in May last by jumping from a
Fulton ferry-boat, but was rescued.  She had not lived with her husband for
several years, and was despondent and melancholy.
   Edith Louise BENNOR, sister of the dead woman, heard a noise in her
sister's room on Saturday night, but thought it was made by the bolt of the
door being pushed into place.  Mrs. LOWELL had told her that she would find
means by which to take her life.
   These facts were testified to at the inquest held by Coroner KELLER this
morning.  Dr. A. W. SHEPARD, who was called in, gave the following
testimony:  I was called to see deceased yesterday morning and found her
dead, with rigor well established, I saw a pistol shot wound in her right
temple:  a pistol was lying by her side; one cartridge only had been
exploded, I have attended deceased on one or two occasions; in my opinion
death resulted from bullet wound in brain inflicted by herself; from her
complaints of having trouble heretofore I am of the opinion that the deed
was committed during aberration of the mind.
   The jury gave the following verdict:  We find that Elia LOWELL came to
her death by a bullet wound inflicted by herself to destroy her own life,
while suffering from aberration of the mind.
   The dead woman was 29 years of age.

AQ Missing Man Found Drowned
   John ROCHSLER, aged 28 years, disappeared from his residence, No. 266
Court street, on the 16th inst.  On Saturday night his body was found in the
river at Fulton Ferry.  The body was first taken to the Morgue and then to
his late residence.
   Coroner KELLER held an inquest in the case to-day.  The father stated
that his son had been a hard drinker since he was sixteen years of age.  He
was frequently absent from the house for weeks and his parents had no
knowledge of his whereabouts.  Of late he had been submit to fits due to
drink.  The father believes that he fell overboard while suffering from a
fit.  The jury decided that he came to his death was by drowning, but
whether accidental or otherwise they could not tell.

Died on a Pleasure Party
   Dr. John G. JOHNSON, of Henry street, on Saturday, took a pleasure party
out for a sail in his yacht.  When opposite Bay Ridge Mr. Benjamin C.
HOWARD, of No. 224 Bergen street, was seized with a fit of apoplexy, from
the effects of which he died in a short time.  The boat was immediately
headed for the shore, and the body removed to Mr. HOWARD's late residence.
Deceased was a bachelor, and lived with his mother.

25 July 1882
William H. BURNS Dead
   William H. BURNS, the young man who a few days ago was found in Prospect
Park suffering from a pistol shot wound in the head, supposed to be
self-inflicted, died yesterday in the Long Island College Hospital.  His
father now deeply regrets the words he spoke in anger when he first heard of
the shooting, and, by his direction, another son took charge of the body,
which will be properly buried.

Death of John C. HAMILTON, last surviving son of Alexander HAMILTON, died at Long
Branch at 12:35 this morning.  He was his father's biographer, having in
1834-40 published in two volumes, "A Life of A. HAMILTON."  He wrote "A
History of the Republic of the United States as Traced in the Writings of
Alexander HAMILTON and His Contemporaries."  He also edited his father's
works from MSS, in the State Department.  Mr. HAMILTON was about 90 years of
age, and resided at No. 17 West Twentieth street, New York.

DEATH AT LAST
Annie SHAFFER's Second Attempt to Kill Herself Successful - Poisoned with
Paris Green in Jersey City
   Annie SHAFFER, of No. 238 Seventeenth street, who on May 30 last
attempted suicide by jumping from a dock at High Bridge into the Harlem
River, made another and \a successful attempt to end her life on Sunday
night in Jersey City.  The girl left home on Wednesday last to go to New
York, saying she was to look for employment as a domestic.  She did not
return or send word to her relatives, who instituted a search, which
resulted in the girl's body being found in the Charity Hospital in Jersey
City.  It was ascertained that Annie, on Sunday night, applied to Mr. Philip
CARLON, of No. 16 Coleman street, Jersey City, for lodgings.  She said she
was friendless and without money.  She had no place to go unless to a police
station.  Her dress and appearance being respectable, her request was
granted.  Soon after moans were heard proceeding from the room and she was
found suffering from convulsions.  She had taken Paris green and a small
quantity was found in a paper in the room.  She was taken to the hospital,
where she died yesterday morning.  Members of the family told a reporter
last evening that the girl had no reason to seek employment; that she had a
comfortable home and the kindest of parents and they could not account for
her committing suicide other than that while usually of a cheerful
disposition, she was at times subject to "fits of flightiness."  They also
admitted that a doctor had said that her mind was slightly unbalanced, but
no notice was taken of the warning.  Her brothers went to the hospital last
night to claim the remains and to make arrangements for the interment.
   The first attempt of the girl to commit suicide was caused by the fact
that a South Brooklyn grocery clerk named STONE, with whom she had become
infatuated, did not reciprocate her feelings.

WILLIAM BURNS' DEATH
The Story of the Shooting as He Told It to His Brother - Verdict of a
Coroner's Jury
    Coroner KELLER held an inquest yesterday afternoon in the case of the
death of William BURNS, who shot himself in Prospect Park on the 18th inst.,
the particulars of which have already been published.  Henry BURNS, a
brother of the dead man, however, shed some additional light on the case by
the following testimony:
   My brother told me at different times sections of a story as to how he
received his wound, and which I believe to be true; he said that as near as
he could recollect he fired one shot, and was about to fire a second when he
heard ladies scream, and then threw his pistol away and ran; that one shot
struck him in the head; he was in the park when he fired the shot; as to the
cause of the act I believe it to have been despondency; I have seen him
despondent at times; the cause of the despondency I believe to be from the
fact that he did not get along very well in life, having had trouble in
business with his father.
   The jury decided that BURNS came to his death by a pistol shot wound
inflicted by himself while laboring under mental aberration.

How William ARMOR Died
   William ARMOR, aged 69 years, who had been ill for five years, last night

26 July 1882
Colonel Joseph A. SLIPPER, a veteran of the war, and one of the firm of
Messers. MACGOWAN & SLIPPER, the Beekman street (New York) printers, died
yesterday at his residence, No. 457 Henry street, this city, aged 41 years.
He was born in New York City, and graduated from Columbia College.  On
leaving college he became a teacher in a school in New York, but resided in
Brooklyn.  Upon the breaking out of the war he entered the army and served
on the staff of General GRAHAM, in the Army of the Potomac.  At the close of
the war he returned to Brooklyn and entered the field of journalism.  He was
engaged first as an editor of the "Army and Navy Journal," and afterward on
the editorial staff of "Hearth and Home."  For a time he held a responsible
position in S. W. GREEN & Co.'s printing establishment, at Frankfort and
Jacob streets, New York.  Then he entered into partnership with Mr. Robert
W. MACGOWAN, who was also employed in the same place, and they opened a book
and job printing establishment in the "Sun" building in 1871.  Later they
removed their business to Beekman street.  The exposures of army life in the
field affected Colonel SLIPPER's health, and for the past five years he
suffered from spinal trouble, which eventually caused his death.  He was a
member of the Grand Army of the Republic.  He leaves a widow and three
children.  The funeral will take place from his late residence to-morrow
afternoon at four o'clock, and the remains will be interred in Greenwood Cemetery.

not come up again giving rise to the impression that he stuck fast in the
mud.  A verdict of accidental drowning was rendered.

He was born in the County Clare, Ireland, and graduated from the Queens
College, Dublin.  He received his diploma to practice medicine at the
Edinburgh College.  Directly after he came to America he connected himself
with the Sixty-ninth Regiment, which position he held up to the time of his
death.  He acted in that capacity with the organization during the late war.

   Mr. John M. REILLY, who resided at No. 334 Jay street, retired to bed
last evening at about ten o'clock after a pleasant social chat with some of
his neighbors and shortly afterwards he was stricken with apoplexy and died

in the Fourth Ward for about thirty years.  He was a member of the firm of
Miles O'REILLY's Sons, liquor dealers, Front street, New York.  He was a
Democrat, of Independent proclivities, and a noted member of the Masonic
order.  He was Master of the Brooklyn Lodge, High Prfest of his chapter and

MURDERED-Mary MEEHAN's Death Due to Violence
The Result of a Post Mortem Examination by Dr. A. W. SHEPARD - Death Caused
by Compression of the Brian - The Husband Recovering
   An examination in the case of the death of Mrs. Mary MEEHAN, who was
found dead at her residence in Hamilton avenue, near Nelson street,
yesterday, proves beyond doubt that the woman met her death by violence.
This fact was ascertained by Dr. A. W. SHEPARD, who made a post-mortem
examination yesterday afternoon by direction of Coroner KELLER.
   Coroner KELLER impanneled a jury to-day and adjourned the inquest.
MEEHAN still lives at St. Peter's Hospital, but to-day his condition was
much improved, and it is thought that he will recover.  There is no doubt
but that he attempted to kill himself by taking poison.  The neighbors of
the MEEHAN's say that the couple quarreled daily, and were continuously more
or less under the influence of liquor.  They lived in poverty and filth.
The shanty in which they lived is a one-story tumble-down concern, divided
into three rooms.  In the rear room there is no flooring of boards.  A
bedspread with a layer of straw over the slate was the only article of
furniture in the room.  This stood on the ground.  In the front room the
only articles of furniture were a broken-down lounge, a table, a small stove
and one chair.  The floor was covered with pieces of worn-out oilcloth.  An
extension built on to the front room is used by the children.  As stated
yesterday, three of the children have been taken in charge by the Charities
Commissioners and one by an aunt.

SUICIDE AT SEVENTY-FIVE
Why George REINER was Tired of Life - His Body Picked up at Fort Hamilton
   The body of the man found drowned at Fort Hamilton on Monday has been
identified as that of George REINER, aged 75 years, whose residence was at
No. 183 Humboldt street., E.D., where he lived with his wife.  The
identification was made by a friend who, on reading a description of the
body and clothing in the newspapers, decided that the body was that of
REINER.  The friend, whose name is Alfred TRAVIS, went to the Morgue
yesterday morning and upon examining the clothing found it to be that worn
by REINER when the latter left home on Monday morning.  The body had already
been buried by the authorities.  There is no doubt but that REINER committed
suicide.  He had been in ill-health for a long time and on several occasions
threatened suicide by intimating that he cared to live no longer.  The fact
that his married daughter was well to do while he was poor appears to have
weighed heavily on his mind, as he several times gave expression to that
fact.  In one of his pockets was found a letter written in German and
addressed to his wife.  Translated it reads like this:  "I am tired of life.
I have had a sick wife for twelve years and have been sick myself.  I don't
care to live any longer."

just before the British appeared in the bay.  During the subsequent
engagement the flag floated over the fort, and was seen by KEY while
confined in the British man-of-war.  After the war the flag was returned to

of the SANDERSON family.

woman jumps overboard and a demented young man shoots himself through
the liver.
A frequenter of Michael HOURAHAN'S liquor saloon, corner of Twentieth
street and Fifth avenue, yesterday afternoon found the body of a man in
an outhouse in the yard.  Blood oozed from a wound in the head and
beside the body lay a Crescent five-barrel revolver.  The man was about
45 years of age, five feet seven inches tall, stout build, with black
hair and heavy black mustache, and was dressed in a black sack coat and
black pants, blue flannel vest, white drawers, under and overshirt, with
the letters "G.P." on one of the bands of the latter, and gaiters.
Coroner KELLER ordered the body removed to the Morgue.  The man must
have entered the yark through the hall as he was not seen in the
saloon.  A pair of spectacles in a case, a red handkerchief and a bunch
of keys were found in the pockets.  Coroner KELLER held an inquest last
night and the jury returned a verdict of suicide by shooting.

flagman.  Dr. MILLER took careful observations before attempting to
cross the track, but had not reached the other side when a train came
rapidly towards him, and his horse becoming frightened at the escaping
steam, became unmanagable, and the train striking the carriage threw Dr.
MILLER into the air.  In the fall his skull was fractured and his body
badly cut.  The engineer reversed the engine and applied the brakes, but
without stopping the train in time to prevent the accident.

RICHARD CRAWFORD'S SUICIDE
Testimony of His Mother and Others Before Coroner Keller
Coroner KELLER this morning held an inquest in the case of the death of
Richard CRAWFORD, who shot himself at his residence, 28 First place, on
Monday last.  Mrs. Margaretta H. CRAWFORD, mother of the dead man,
testified that her son came home from Dr. KIRKEBRIDE'S Insane Asylum on
June 28 last, where he had been  two years, and before that was for a
short time at a Schood for Unfortunates and Invalids at Binghamton.  He
often asked for a pistol, and about a week ago wanted her to give him
money with which to buy a pistol.  This she refused to do, but
subsequently found he had sold an old suit of clothes for $2 and
purchased a pistol.  She and her son, Sidney, went to Richard's room and
asked the latter where the pistol was, but he would not tell and jumped
out of bed and ran down stairs to the bathroom and locked the door after
him.  Sidney secured an entrance in another way and found Richard in the
act of cocking a pistol, and after threatening to shoot Sidney turned
the pistol and shot himself in the right side.  When she entered the
room Richard lay on the floor.  He said to her, "Mother, I have done it."
The testimony of the son Sidney corresponded with that of his mother.
Dr. WATT, who attended CRAWFORD, said that death was due to internal
hemorrhage, super-induced by a wound through the liver.  The jury
decided in accordance with the facts.

ANOTHER SUICIDE
An Unknown Man Jumps Overboard and Refuses Assistance
An unknown man walked rapidly down Broadway about a quarter past one
o'clock this morning, paid his fare to the ferrymaster, walked to the
end of the bridge and jumped overboard.  He was observed by ferry
employes who, with a boathook, endeavored to drag him from the water.
They fastened the hook in his clothing, but he threw his arms up and
broke the hold, sank and was drowned.  The body was subsequently
recovered.  It is that of a man about 30 years of age, five feet eight
inches tall, dark hair, small goatee, dark coat, pants and vest, hickory
shirt, black soft hat.  The body was removed to the Morgue.

Major George S. LELAND, one of the proprietors of the Sturtevant House,
New York, died at 8:30 this morning of rheumatic gout.

Eliza CARROLL, aged 70 years, has occupied apartments at No. 373 Kent
avenue, for four years.  She lived alone and had few friends.  Neighbors
did not see her as usual yesterday, and notifed the police when they
called for her and received no reply.  Mrs. CARROLL was found seriously
ill, and an ambulance was called.  Before it arrived, however, she
died.  Coroner PARKER ordered the body removed to the Morgue.

How He was Run Over by a Lightning Express Train, and His Dead Body
Taken Up a Shapeless Mass.
The employes (sic) of the Brooklyn Post Office express regret over the
death of letter carrier W.F.ROBERTS at Portchester on Wednesday evening.
The particulars of his death have been received.  On Wednesday afternoon
he went to Portchester to see his wife and children who were visiting at
the house of his father-in-law.  On returning in the evening he got on a

SHOCKING.    [Not for the faint of heart.]
A DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT
A Temporarily Insane Father Cuts His Six-year-old Daughter's Throat from
Ear to Ear and then Jumps from a Second Story Window-The Girl's Recovery
Possible, but the Father's Death Possible.
A tragic occurance, in which a father, temporarily insane by reason of
long illness, cut his six-year-old daughter's throat from ear to ear,
and then sought to destroy his own life by jumping from a second story
window, was reported to the police shortly before noon to-day in the
Eastern District.  It is possible that the girl will recover, while the
father's chances are less hopeful.
Edward H.C.BROWN, aged 45 years, lives with his wife and family at No.
229 Maujer street.  The family occupy apartments on the second floor.
BROWN for a long time has been ill and confined to his house.  His
illness, together with the fact that he could do no work, so preyed upon
his mind that this morning he became temporarily deranged.  While in
that condition he seized a razor which had previously been sharpened,
and, grasping his daughter Mary, aged 6 years, drew the sharp edge
ACCROSS HER THROAT making a gash which extended from ear to ear.  
Throwing the child to the floor and casting aside the razor he ran 
to an open window at the front of the house and sprang out.
Beneath the window was an iron railing, and on this BROWN struck in his
fall and bounded off to the sidewalk.  The Sixth Precinct police, as
soon as notified, summond an ambulance.  When Surgeon HEYL arrived he
found BROWN lying in the position in which he had fallen, unconscious.
An examination showed that the man's skull had been fractured by the
fall and that his  chin had been broken.  He was also more or less badly
bruised about the body and limbs.  He was placed in the ambulance and
taken to St.Catherine's Hospital.  Officer MASTER's of the Sixth
Precinct, accompanied the ambulance and remains in charge of BROWN to
see that the latter make no further attempt on his life, and also to
frustrate any attempt that he may make at escape.  Little Mary was found
in her parents' apartments, the blood flowing FROM A FRIGHTFUL GASH
in her throat and her clothing covered with the crimson flood.  On the
floor where she lay was a big pool of blood.  When Surgeon HEYL examined
the gash in her throat he found that while it was a deep cut and of an
exceedingly dangerous nature it was not necessarily a fatal wound.  He
carefully dressed the cut and carrying the child to the ambulance
conveyed her to St. Catherine's Hospital.

DUE TO VIOLENCE
Mrs. Mary Meehan's Death - Facts Elicited at the Coroner's Inquest -
Testimony of a Witness who saw Meehan Strike His Wife - The Verdict of the Jury.
Coroner KELLER last night held an inquest touching the circumstances of
the death of Mrs. Mary MEEHAN, who was killed by her husband at her
residence in Nelson street, near Hamilton avenue, on July 27 last.
Michael ALLEN, a young nephew of Mrs. MEEHAN, was the first witness.  He testified:
On Wednesday a week ago I was going to the tea store corner of Hamilton
avenue and Columbia street; on my way down I saw Mr. MEEHAN strike my
aunt with a tin can on the head and kick her; she then laid down; this
happened in the alleyway leading to their shanty; she said nothing, and
he went into the house.
Jane MURRAY testified:  About six o'clock on the evening of July 26 I
passed MEEHAN'S shanty and saw Mrs. MEEHAN lying in the alley; her
husband came out of the shanty just then and took hold of her arms to
carry her in;  Mrs. FOGARTY and I assisted him and laid Mrs. MEEHAN on
the floor; she said nothing.
Eliza FOGARTY testified to assisting MEEHAN and the previous witness to
carry Mrs. MEEHAN into the house.  Mrs. MEEHAN's face was badly swollen
at the time.  The MEEHANS were frequently intoxicated, but the witness
never saw the husband strike his wife.
Margaret LEONARD testified to seeing Mrs. MEEHAN lying in front of her
shanty with her clothing torn.  The witness and another woman carried
her into the alley.
      HER FACE WAS SWOLLEN AND BLACK,
and she was crying, "God help my poor soul!"
Officer Michael ROACH testified that he found Mrs. MEEHAN on the floor
dead; her husband was sitting on a chair near her in the same room;
MEEHAN said that his wife had been drunk on the previous night, and that
he and a couple of neighbors laid her on the floor; that he went into
the other room and slept there; that when he called her in the morning
he found her dead; then he laid down beside her and cried, and then
called the neighbors; he denied striking her.
Dr. A.W. SHEPARD's statement, as already published, showing that death
resulted from compression of the brain, produced by a clot of
extravasated blood, caused by
      VIOLENCE APPLIED TO THE SKULL,
was then read, after which the jury retired.  They returned the
following verdict:
"That Mrs. Mary MEEHAN came to her death on July 27 by compression of
the brain, due to a clot of extravasated blood caused by violenct
applied to the skull with a tin can by her husband, Michael MEEHAN."
The husband still remains at St. Peter's Hospital in charge of an
officer.  It is thought that his condition will be such in a few days
that he will be able to stand removal to the jai.

FOUND DEAD IN BED
John NOLAN this morning found his ten-weeks' old daughter Mary dead in

JAMES V. VAN SICKLEN.
The Funeral of an Old Coney Island Landlord.
The funeral of the late James V. VAN SICKLEN, one of the oldest and
earlist Coney Island hotel-keepers, took place this afternoon at the
Island and was largely attended.  Mr. VAN SICKLEN died on Sunday from
the effects of a severe cold, and was in his 70th year.  He was born in
Gravesend, where there were those of his name more than two centuries
ago.  A portion of the present VAN SICKLEN hotel was built by deceased's
father as a farm house.  Subsequently, however, the old gentleman gave
up farming and became a Boniface.  Before his father's death James had
the hotel under his control, and he was as jealous of the good name of
his house as he was solicitous for the comfort of his guests.  Several
additions were made to the building from time to time.  VAN SICKLEN'S
HOTEL always had a reputation for a good dinner, fried eels and clam
fritters being specialties.  James loved a good horse, and was the owner
at one time of Gray Messenger, a famous trotter.  The VAN SICKLEN
property in the vicinity of the hotel is still extensive, though much of
it has been disposed of.  It is claimed that this section of the beach,
which was part of the tract purchased by deceased's father, still
belongs to the family, and that the processes by shich it was taken by
the town of Gravesend was illegal.  Mr. VAN SICKLEN leaves a son and
daughter, both of whom are married, his wife having died thirteen years ago.

DEAD IN A BOAT-A BROOKLYN BOY KILLS HIMSELF AT CANARSIE
The Circumstances Attending the Death of William DURBUR, Aged 14
Years--A Case that is Almost Inexplicable.
A neatly dressed boy, apparently 14 years of age, about ten o'clock
yesterday morning, called at David MOLL's boat house at Canarsie and
said he wished to hire a rowboat.
"I want the lightest boat you've got," he said.
"Are you alone?" asked Mr. MOLL.
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
A boat of light build was chosen and paid for by the boy for an hour's
use.  He seized the oars and rowed out into the channel through which
the Rockaway steamer passes, and reaching a point about three hundred
feet from the shore dropped anchor.
About one o'clock in the afternoon a German boatman, who lives at
Canarsie, was rowing across the channel and saw the boat lying to.  He
saw no one in it and becoming curious at so unusual a sight as a boat
anchored so far from shore rowed alongside and looked into the boat.  As
he did so he started at the sight of the body of a boy lying stretched
out at full length in the bottom of it.  The right arm was extended
across the breast and in the hand was  GRASPED A PISTOL.
He made fast his boat and made a more minute examination and found that
blood was trickling from a wound in the boy's right temple.  The boy was
dead and evidently had been for some time as the body was quite cold.
The boatman then rowed ashore and notified Mr. MOLL, who on rowing out
to where the boat containing the body was, identified it as that of the
boy who had a few hours previously engaged the boat of him, and with
whom he had the conversation detailed above.  The boy was not known to
anyone who saw the body, and last night the remains were removed to the
county buildings at Flatbush.
Yesterday afternoon word was telegraphed to Police Headquarters that
William DURBUR, aged 14 years, who lived with his parents at No.156 Walworth st,
was missing.  He was in the employ of W.H. TULLY, a jeweler, doing
business at No. 631 DeKalb avenue.  The latter stated that early in the
morning he sent DURBUR out with a clock which had been repaired, on
which he was to collect $1, and that since that time he had not seen
him.  To-day DURBUR's relatives went to Flatbush and identified the body
of the boy who was found deat in the boat as his.  It is supposed that
the boy committed suicide, although no reason for such an act can be
given unless it be that he was in ill-health, as he had always been
delicate.  The weapon which he used was a common toy pistol, which he
must have loaded with a bullet of small calibre.
The inquest was to have been held to-day but the boatman who found the
body was not to be had, and it was adjourned.
It has been learned that the boy during the day had broken a pane of
glass in the window of his employer's store and had been told by the
latter that he must make good the damage.  He felt badly about the
matter and went to his home, telling his mother of it.  It is surmised
that directly after leaving home he went to Canarsie and the shot himself.

10 August 1882
MICHAEL DELEHANTY'S SISTER
Allegations that She was Violently Treated by Her Husband Before Her
Death-The Result of a Post-Mortem Examination.
Michael DELEHANTY last night called at Coroner HELLER's residence and
told him that his (Delehanty's) sister, Mrs. Margaret D. GREENE, who
lived at No. 66 Duffield street, had diet under circumstances which
warrented an inquest, although a physician had given a certificate that
death was due to natural causes.  Upon being requested to make known the
facts in his possession DELEHANTY told the following story:
The dead woman lived with her husband, Henry C. GREENE, a pedler, at No.
66 Duffield street.  She was in delicate health, and two weeks ago
DELEHANTY saw her husband strike her with his fist and throw her against
the wall.  This was in GREENE's apartments.  Dr. McENTEE, of No 195
Myrtle avenue, who is a druggist and physician, attended her, but
Doctors CHARLES and VON HOLLINGER were also called in.  Dr. CHARLES, so
DELEHANTY said, announced that he would give no certificate of death.
Dr. McENTEE did, but Dr. CHARLES told DELEHANTY to go to Coroner KELLER
and state the facts to him.  DELEHANTY claimed that there were bruises
on the body, and said he felt certain that his sister's death was due to
violence at the hands of her husband.  DELEHANTY made an affidavit in
which the above facts were embodied, and then Coroner KELLER notified
police.  Officer HICKMAN found GREENE in the house in which he resides
and arrested him.  He was locked up over night and held to await the
result of the post-mortem examination of the body to be made by Dr.A.W.SHEPARD.
DELEHANTY made other allegations against GREENE, whom he said had
assaulted his mother and had been unfaithful to his wife.  The latter
died on Tuesday, and Dr. McENTEE's certificate gives the cause of death
as general debility, the result of excessive vomiting, due to natural causes.
DELEHANTY said that the cause of the trouble between GREENE and his
mother was the fact that the latter remonstrated with GREENE for
bringing fast women into the house while his wife's body lay there.  He
alleges GREENE is a hard drinker.
A post-mortem examination was made this afternoon by Dr. SHEPARD, who
found that Mrs. GREENE's death was due to natural causes, but it was his
opinion that death may have been hastened by cruel treatment or
violence.  He so reported to Coroner KELLER, who fixed Monday next as
the time for the inquest.

Mr. John SAWYER, a wealthy real estate owner in this city and the oldest

DROWNED-THE MYSTERY ATTENDING MARGARET BRADFORD'S DEATH.
Was she Thrown Overboard or Did She  Commit Suicide? - What a Boat
Captain Saw and Heard on Gowanus Canal.
Reuben E. CHAPMAN, captain of a canal boat lying near the Hamilton
avenue bridge, while seated on the deck of his vessel on Saturday night
about half-past ten o'clock, with his wife, heard a splash in the water
and subsequently cries for help.  Several other boatmen heard the
cries.  When CHAPMAN turned in the direction from which the cries came,
he saw a man standing on the bank of the canal.  He called to the latter
and asked why he did not attempt to rescue the person who had fallen
overboard.  The man replied with an oath and then ran rapidly away.  The
police were notified and made search for the body, but without success.
Late yesterday afternoon, however, the body was recovered.  It porved to
be that of Mrs. Margaret BRADFORD, aged 54 years, who lived at the foot
of Thirteenth street.  When she left the house on Saturday night she
said she would return in a few minutes.  Her husband and family left
with her and she took the keys.  She went to the residence of Mrs.
HANAN, who lives near the canal, and after she left there was not again
seen alive.  Mrs. BRADFORD's life was insured for $150.  One of her sons
claims that she several times threatened to commit suicide, and believes
that she jumped into the canal.  Her husband, however, and other
relatives, believe that she was thrown overboard.  Coroner KELLER will
investigate the matter.

A BIGAMIST'S DEATH.-A.C. WHARTON BLOWS HIS BRAINS OUT WHEN ARRESTED.
The End of a Railroad Official Who Left a Wife in Brooklyn to Marry a
Young Woman in Illinois.
Mr. A.C. WHARTON, Auditor of the Des Moines & Fort Dodge Railroad
Company, who was well known in this city, where his wife and child live,
last night blew out his brains with a pistol at Princeton, Ill.  WHARTON
in April last married Miss Eva CROSS, a Princeton belle.  The latter
recently ascertained that WHARTON had another wife living, and procured
a warrant for his arrest on a charge of bigamy.  He was arrested
yesterday, and while the officer was reading the warrant WHARTON drew a
pistol and placing it at his head fired.  Inspector JEWETT has received
a despatch from the Princeton authorities asking him to inquire as to
the whereabouts of the Brooklyn Mrs. WHARTON.  Drill Captain McKELVEY
investigated the matter and found that Mrs. WHARTON had been living at
No. 145 Pearl street.  She had left last night, however, for Illinois
before she heard of her husband's arrest or death for the purpose of
testifying against him.  It is said that the dead man had a number of
wives in various parts of the country.

DISAGREED. The Coroner's Jury in the Case of the Death of Mrs. Margaret Greene.
At the inquest last night by Coroner KELLER on the body of Mrs. Margaret
GREENE, of 66 Duffield street, whose husband, Henry GREENE, has been
under arrest on suspicion of being instrumental in her death, the jury
disagreed. Three of them found that Mrs. GREENE's death was due to fatty
degeneration of the liver, and that she received violence at her
husband's hands which exerted an influence in hastening her death.
The remaining four found that death was due to natural causes and failed
to find that her treatment by her husband hastened her death.

MARGARET BRADFORD'S DEATH.
The Testimony of Two Canal-boat Captains Takes by Coroner KELLER-
Indications of Foul Play.
Coroner KELLER yesterday afternoon took the testimony of two witnesses
in the case of the death of Mrs. MARGARET BRADFORD, who was drowned in
the Gowanus Canal on Saturday night last.  Reuben D. CHAPMAN, of the
canal-boat L.D.Cummings, was the first witness and gave the following
testimony:  On Saturday evening last Patrick ROCHE, his wife and I were
sitting on the canal boat S.M. Allen, of which ROCHE is captain; about
half-past ten o'clock we heard a splash in the water across the creek,
near the bridge; I turned to Captain ROCHE and said, "There's a man
drowned over there."  I called out to the person in the water: "Keep up
and   WE'LL GIVE YOU HELP:"
I ran back to my boat, hailed a schooner and told a man in it to take a
boat and go down and save the man;  in the meantime a man on the other
side of the creek called out: "Shut up, you ---- ---- ---- ----."  I
said: "What's the matter with you, go and save that man;" he made a
similar reply;  Captain ROCHE and I took a boat hook and went around to
save the person; in the meantime the man ran up the stringpiece to a
shed and then went off; on the bridge we met two little girls, who
clapped their hands and said:     "YOU'RE TOO LATE."
We went to where we heard the splash and saw what we supposed to be a
body, but could not reach it.  On Sunday I helped drag the canal, and
about four o'clock the body of a woman was found by some boys.  After
the body reached the water I heard no cry or splash, but merely a
puffing noise.  The man I caled [sic] to wore dark clothes and had a
coarse voice.
Captain ROCHE gave testimony of a corroborative character.
The inquest is to held next week, this testimony having been taken that
CHAPMAN and ROCHE might sail when their boats had discharged their cargoes.

AN INSANE WOMAN'S DEATH.
 Walking from One House to Another on Third Floor Window Sills- A Fatal Fall
Anna WATERS, an insane woman, who lived with her parents at No. 326
Adelphi street, died yesterday from injuries received by a fall.  Anna
was 30 years of age and had been demented for some time, but having
never attempted violence to herself or others, was allowed to roam about
the house at will.  On Sunday night she was in the parlor with some
relatives when, suddenly, she left the room and ran up stairs to the
third floor, and raising the sash of one of the windows, she stepped out
on the sill.  The sills of the house are very wide and correspond with
those of the two adjoining dwellings.  When the woman reached the sill
she stepped to the one at the next window and continued her dizzy walk
until she reached the next house, No. 324.  From one to another of the
sills in this house she stepped and then pursued her way to No. 322.  On
No. 320, however, the sills are of the narrow, old-fashioned kind, and
when she reached this house she pitched headlong to the pavement below.
It was not known whether her fall was caused by attempting to walk on
the narrow stone or to turn and retrace her steps to her own residence.
Dr. REYNOLDS, of No. 154 Lafayette avenue, was called and attended the
woman until she died yesterday morning.  Coroner KELLER will hold an
inquest.  The relatives are very reticent about the matter, and it is
only from neighbors that any facts can be learned.  One of them says
that the dead woman was to have been taken to an asylum yesterday and
think that her freak was caused by an insane attempt to frustrate the
carrying out of her relatives' determination by escaping from the house.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

a truck driven by Charles MATHIESON, by being knocked down and run over

Michael  McCANN, a junkman, aged 37 years yesterday afternoon committed
suicide at his residence, No. 37 Pacific street, by shooting himself in
the head with a revolver.  He had been addicted to drink for a long
time, and that fact is supposed to have unsettled his mind.  McCANN was

Albert E. SUMNER, M.D.
       The news of the sudden death of Dr. Albert E. SUMNER, of 130 Clinton 
Street, yesterday afternoon, was received with profound sorrow by his 
numerous friends in this city, and by the medical profession generally.  
Although he practiced homeopathy and held the foremost position in that 
school of medicine in this city, he was of that genial and free nature, that 
he counted among his friends many of the most prominent of the old school 
physicians.  Dr. SUMNER had been a resident of this city nearly twenty years 
and on the death of Dr. A. COOKE HULL succeeded 
him in his practice, and took his house-the one in which Dr. SUMNER had 
resided up to the day of his death.  On Wednesday last, Dr. SUMNER went to 
Wyckoff, N.J., to see his wife and family who were staying there and he 
returned to this city in the evening and spent the night with a friend on the 
Heights.  Yesterday morning he went out in his carriage at the usual time to 
make professional calls.  He was feeling very well and had a smile and 
pleasant word for those he met.  He had to see a patient on Washington Avenue 
and leaving there ordered his coachman to drive him to a Fulton Street 
furniture establishment.  While in front of the store, and just as he had 
alighted from his carriage, Dr. SUMNER was noticed to reel and grasp at an 
awning post for support.  He was helped into the carriage and at his own 
request driven to the residence of Dr. J. Lester KEEP, 460 Clinton Avenue.  
Dr. KEEP assisted Dr. SUMNER into the house and applied numerous remedies, 
but without effect, as Dr. SUMNER became unconscious and died in less than an 
hour.  The immediate cause of death was an impending stroke of apoplexy.
       Dr. SUMNER was 42 years of age and was born in Hartford, Conn.  He 
graduated from Trinity College in that city and afterwards studied medicine 
at the New York University where he received a diploma.  During the war he 
served as a surgeon in the Navy under Commodore PHELPHS, and in 1863 opened 
an office in this city.  He was the foremost spirit in the organization of 
the Homeopathic Hospital in Cumberland Street, and to this untiring vigor is 
due the growth of the institution from being comparatively unknown to one of 
the best known in the state.  He was President of the Board of Trustees of 
the hospital, was a member of the Kings County and State medical societies, 
the American Institute of Medicine, was the organizer and Vice President of 
the Apollo Club, a member of the Long Island Historical Society and the 
Philharmonic Society, and a director in the latter.  He was also connected 
with the Maternity in Concord Street, with the Brooklyn Club and other 
organizations.  He was active in social circles, and was much respected and 
universally liked.
       Immediately after his death, Mrs. SUMNER was summoned by telegraph, 
and she and the children reached home from New Jersey in the evening.  The 
funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon next at three o'clock at 
the church of the Holy Trinity.  The interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery.

ago, and has carried on business as a carpenter in the vicinity of Henry and 
Middagh Streets for the past twenty-five years.  He was a prominent Odd 
Fellow, and had been a member of Magnolia Lodge for thirty-two years.  He was 
also a member of Salem Encampment No. 5.  His remains will be interred in

same capacity to the Brooklyn Theatre, and served as Treasurer up to the time 
of her death.  He was engaged by Colonel William E. SINN as Treasurer of the 
Park Theatre for the session of 1880-81, but was obliged to retire in

between nine and ten o'clock last evening.  Two weeks ago he was given a 
vacation for a week, and while away from home he complained of indigestion.  
He returned to his residence a little more than a week ago, when he was 
attacked with paralysis of the brain, which made him unconscious, and he 
continued so until his death.  Mr. GUISCHARD was only 18 years of age when he 
went with his parents to live in Willamsburg.  He was for many years an 
active volunteer fireman, and joined the police force April 23, 1858, when 
John S. FOLK was Inspector of the Metropolitan Police in Brooklyn.  His 
father, Henry GUISCHARD, was Captain in the Eastern District under the old 
municipal police system and afterwards a court officer under Justice DAILY.  
Everybody in old Williamsburg knew "Pop" GUISCHARD.  His son William has been 
detailed the Mayor's office since 1866 and he served there with conspicuous 
fidelity under Mayors BOOTH, KALBREISCH, POWELL, HUNER, SCHROEDER, HOWELL and 
also since the commencement of Mayor Low's term of office.  He was 68 years 
of age.  His wife died many years ago, and his family consists of several 
grown sons and daughters.  Mayor LOW this morning expressed his regret and 
sorrow that the city, and especially the Mayor's office, had lost such a 
valuable officer.  He organized an efficient fire company in 1834 and some 
years later was made Chief of the Williamsburg Fire Department.  Still later 
he appears in the history of the rising of young town as Deputy Sheriff under 
Sheriff HODGES, and later still, Chief of Police under Mayor BERRY.  After 
the incorporation of Williamsburg with Brooklyn Mr. GUISCHARD was quite 
wealthy and leaves a family of grown up children.

DEATH OF AN OLD FERRY PILOT
       Captain John COLE, who for over forty years was a pilot on the boats 
of the Union Ferry Company, died yesterday at the residence of his son, John 
W. COLE, who has been a pilot on the South Ferry for about thirty years.  The 
old gentleman had not been in the employ of the ferry company for nearly 
twenty years, having lived at Coney Island near the creek, where he built 
small boats and fished for eels, which he sold to the hotel people at the 
Island.  Before he was a pilot on the Union Ferry he piloted a boat belonging 
to Commodore VANDERBILT from Staten Island to New York.  She carried the 
mails.  Piloting a boat in those days was a very different thing and much 
more laborious than it is now.  He and old Captain BAULSIR were pilots 
together on a ferryboat of the Union Company at the time the paddles were 
worked by a yoke of oxen going around on the deck.  The old gentleman always 
loved the water and never was so happy as when fishing or boating.  About two 
weeks ago he was taken sick and went to his son's home, 598 Fulton Street, 
where he received every attention until his death.  He was in his 82nd year.  
The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 P.M. at the house, and will be

Mr. Wm. B. DINSMORE, Mr. J.C. BABCOCK, Mr. W. G. HATCH, General Thomas T.

and foot of the coffin.  Rev. Dr. R. S. STORRS conducted the service.  In the 
course of his remarks he said: "Our friend whose death we all mourn, was one 
who had the faculty of attaching all to him-both poor and rich.  He was a man 
of wise generosity which was united to a genial kindly disposition.  He had 
not an enemy in the world and his friends were legion.  Then, he was a man of 
such sterling worth and honorable conduct that he filled high places and 
fulfilled high offices with distinction to himself and credit to his friends. 
 He was a kind friend, a good citizen and a valuable officer, and combining 
such qualities he is a great loss to the community at large.  The remains 
were taken to Greenwood Cemetery.

DEATH OF JOHN COULSON.  John COULSON, who yesterday morning shot himself at 
his residence in McComb Street, died last night from the effects of his 
self-inflicted injury.  He refused to the last to assign any motive for the 
act.  The weapon he used was a patent breech-loader shotgun manufactured by 
Robert Jones, an English maker and was loaded with a No. 9 cartridge.  The 
only person in the house when the shooting occurred besides COULSON was a man 
who is employed by him.  This man was in the habit of taking to Mr. COULTER's 
room every morning a newspaper.  He waited several hours beyond the usual 
time to be called by his employer yesterday and then went to the latter's 
room.  He found COULSON wounded as described yesterday.  Ambulance Surgeon 
MIRRTELEES and Dr. SHERMAN attended the wounded man, but could do no more 
than prolong his life a few hours.  COULSON came to America from England 
three years ago.  In the latter country he was engaged in the building of 
iron ships.  His widow and three children have been in ???? several weeks.  
COULSON is reported to have been wealthy.  Besides being a marine surveyor he 
was engaged in ship-buiding and had an office in Wall Street, New York.

DEATH OF DR. W. KNIGHT CRICK.  Dr. Wm. Knight CRICK, better known as Dr. 
KNIGHT, died on Thursday, after a lingering illness, at 324 Schermerhorn 
Street.  He was born forty-seven years ago in the centre of what is now 
Greenwood Cemetery.  At 14 he was about to enter the navy, when he was 
disabled by an accident, and he turned to the study of medicine.  At one time 
he kept a drug store at the corner of Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue.  He 
finally adopted music as a profession and took the degree of Mus. Doc.  He 
played almost all instruments, but the violin was his specialty.  For some 
time he led the orchestra at the Brooklyn Theatre, under Mrs. CONWAY.  He had 
great power of memory and of arrangement, which enabled him to write a score 
for a full band as fast as he could make the characters.  At the time of his 
death he was engaged on work for Arthur SULLIVAN.  A special musical service 
will be given at the funeral to-morrow at the Protestant Episcopal Church of 
the Redeemer, Fourth Avenue, near Flatbush Avenue.

BEATEN TO DEATH-A woman's corpse, covered with a very ragged dress, lies on its back 
in the front room of the second floor of the old wooden three story tenement 
house in the rear of No. 98 North Fifth Street.  It is the body of Mary 
FLAHERTY, age 26, who was murdered by her husband yesterday afternoon.  The 
white face of the dead woman is smeared with blood, and bears bruise marks 
which have turned as black as charcoal, but a great three-cornered dent in 
the side of the left temple was evidently the death blow.
       The interior of the two small rooms in which James FLAHERTY and his 
wife lived is squalid in the extreme.  They had only dwelt there three weeks, 
yet the prevailing dirt seemed the accumulation of years.  A lounge without 
legs, a bed and mattress with only two or three slats and no coverlets, an 
old table and two chairs, and one or two dirty dishes comprised the interior 
furniture; and the floor was strewn with broken pieces of glass tumblers, and 
litter of every description.
       The occupants of the floors above and below the one on which the 
FLAHERTYS lived seemed to be indifferent regarding the murder, and were not 
aware that it had occurred until Officer YOUNG of the Fifth Precinct broke 
open the door last evening at ten o'clock, and found FLAHERTY in a drunken 
sleep on the lounge, and his wife dead some three feet away.  A bed slat, one 
end of which was covered with hair and blood, lay between them.
AN EYEWITNESS'S STORY
       Lizzie WILSON, a bright, intelligent girl of ten years, who lives with 
her mother in No. 98 in the rooms in which the Wallace wife murder took place 
months ago, told the Union-Argus reporter the following story:
       "I was standing at the back window upstairs (the second floor) 
yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, and saw Mr. FLAHERTY come out on the 
stoop.  He had a pipe in his mouth and seemed drunk by the way he walked.  He 
sat down on the stoop for a few minutes and then went into the house and took 
the broomstick and began to beat something on the floor.  I could not see 
what it was.  After a time he threw down the broomstick and picked up a bed 
slat, and struck several blows with that.  Then he stopped his growling and 
lay down on the lounge.  I couldn't see his wife, though I know it was her 
that he was beating.  I didn't hear her scream and I didn't hear him speaking 
to her.  I didn't see her walking about before he beat her, so I suppose she 
must have been lying on the floor all the time.  I told Mother, but she said, 
"Nonsense, child!'" 
       FLAHERTY is a short, stout man, aged 26 and has been married but a 
short time.  He is a coal heaver and drinks heavily.  His wife also drank, 
and the couple were continually quarreling.  FLAHERTY did not know til this 
morning that he had killed his wife.

ROME - On Sunday, September 17, 1882, William Morgan, third son of William M. 
and Sarah ROME, aged six years, eleven months and nine days.  Relatives and 
friends are invited to attend the funeral from the residence of his parents, 
108 Bridge Street, on Tuesday, September 19, at 9 P.M.

WILBUR - At Flatbush, L.I., on Saturday, 16 inst, Lionel A. WILBUR, in the 
forty-fourth year of his age.  Relatives and friends of the family are 
respectfully requested to attend his funeral from his late residence, 
Flatbush Avenue, Flatbush, on Tuesday, 19th inst., at three o'clock P.M.

FLAHERTY MURDER A Girl Who Saw the Fatal Blow Struck
       An inquest was held yesterday afternoon by Coroner PARKER in Justice 
KENNA's Court room in Grand Street, E.D., into the cause of the death of Mrs. 
Mary FLAHERTY, who was killed by her husband, James FLAHERTY on Sunday last, 
at the residence of the couple, No. 98 North Fifth Street, E.D.
       Theresa BRADY, sister of deceased, who lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey, 
testified that Mrs. FLAHERTY and her husband did not live happy together, and 
that the prisoner frequently beat his wife.  He drank heavily and once when 
she accused him of being intimate with other women threatened to kill her.  
The witness was ignorant of the cause of her sister's death.
       Officer Thomas YOUNG, of the Fifth Precinct, testified:  On Sunday 
night last while walking through Fourth Street towards North Fifth, a young 
girl came to me and said she thought a woman had been murdered in the 
apartments occupied by FLAHERTY and his wife.  I saw Mrs. FLAHERTY lying on 
the floor and her husband lying on a lounge, asleep.  I arrested the latter 
and then returned to the house, where I found a bed slat covered with blood.  
There was blood on the mattress and the floor of the bedroom and front room.  
Mrs. FLAHERTY's head was against the jamb of the door.  FLAHERTY's pants were 
covered with blood.
       Mrs. Catharine NOLAN, who occupies apartments over those in which the 
prisoner and his wife lived, testified:  I saw Mrs. FLAHERTY sitting at the 
bottom of the stairs leading to her apartments
