MISS HARRIET SILLIMAN
Her Death from Heart Failure Today, Aged 84
MIss Harriet SILLIMAN, daughter of the late Gold S. SILLIMAN, and sister of
Benjamin D. SILLIMAN, died at her residence, corner of Pierrepont and Clinton
sts, to-day. She had been suffering from an attack of pneumonia, but this
had been overcome, as it was thought, when heart failure ensued, and the end
came when it was unexpected by the members of her family. Miss SILLIMAN has
suffered for several years with a weakness of the heart, so much so as to
cause some solicitude on the part of her friends, This and her advanced age,
84, made it impossible for her to resist the inroads of the disease, which
reduced her vitality.
Miss SILLIMAN was a woman of great dignity and nobility of character. She
had many accomplishments and was well read. Her singularly sweet disposition
and high plane of living impressed every one who was honored with her
acquaintance.
Miss SILLIMAN'S father, Gold S. SILLIMAN, graduated from Yale College in
1796; her grandfather, Gen. Gold S. SILLIMAN, in 1752, while her
great-grandfather, Gen. Ebenezer SILLIMAN, graduated from the same college in
1727. Her brother, Benjamin D. SILLIMAN, graduated from Yale in the class of
1824; and has long been known and honored as one of the first citizens of Brooklyn.
During the past week three prominent Brooklyn people, all well acquainted
with each other, have passed away. These are: A.A. LOW, Mrs. POLHEMUS, and
Miss SILLIMAN.
SILLIMAN-On Tuesday, Jan 10, Harriet SILLIMAN, daughter of the late Gold S.
SILLIMAN, in the 84th year of her age. Notice of funeral hereafter.

DEATH OF MRS. SQUIER
Mrs. Estella Marshall SQUIER, the wife of Frank SQUIER, who died this
morning, at her residence, on Ninth ave., had been ill for several months,
and spent a portion of last summer at a near-by resort on Long Island Sound,
in the hope of recovery. For many years she was a resident of the Seventh
ward, and within a comparatively short time, had removed to a fine home
erected by Mr. SQUIER, on Ninth ave., and Carroll st., and facing Prospect
Park. Mrs. SQUIER was the daughter of the late Rev. Joseph D. MARSHALL, and
a woman of great personal worth, which endeared her to a large circle of
friends. The funeral will occur at the home, 32 Ninth ave., on Friday at noon.
RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT
Expressed in Letters Found on George D. HYDE, Who Died on the Bridge
At the beginning of the rush hours on the Bridge last evening, George D.
HYDE, aged about 45, was stricken with heart failure on the New York outgoing
platform, and after being removed to car No. 50 and conveyed the Brooklyn
waiting room, died.
HYDE was a native of Mystic, Conn., whither his body was sent in care of his
brother-in-law, E.B. BROWN by Stephen MERRITT, of New York. He had evidently
anticipated a sudden death for a letter found on his person contained the
information that he had heart disease, and gave the instructions outlined
above. A letter addressed to his brother-in-law at Mystic was mailed last
night by Sergeant Edward PHILLIPS, in accordance with a request also embodied
in the first-named missive, which terminated as follows:
For me to live is Christ. For me to die is gain.
Hallelujah to the Lamb forever and forever.
Coroner KENE reviewed the body before it was removed.

DEAD FOR DAYS
John SCHULTHEIS died nearly a week ago, but the body hasn't been buried,
as the widow had no money.
He died at 57 Moore St. in one of the two small rooms occupied by he, his
wife and six small children. The coroner was notified and gave a burial permit.
The undertaker John SCHLITZ was called and informed the widow that he would
bury the body for $15 but had to have the money paid in full. She only had
$2.50 and was unable to raise the money.
The body was left in the only bed in the apartment and at night Mrs. SCHULTHEIS
put her children to bed with their deceased father.
Finally the other families in the tenement complained about the stench and
this morning Mrs. SCHULTHEIS went to the Sixth Precinct and told her story.
She was nearly crazed and it was with difficulty that she made herself
understood. The case was referred to the health officers.

Mrs. Annie SOLOMON and her two children, Rebecca and Barnett, who were burned

The unfortunate fire on Boerum St. yesterday morning, which has resulted in
the death of three members of the Solomon family and crazed the father,
has thrown a tinge of sadness over that portion of the sixteen ward.
The fire started when little Barnett pulled a kerosene lamp off the mantel,
while looking for a buttonhook and the lamp fell into the open stove and
exploded, setting fire to the clothing of the mother and children.
Max SOLOMAN, the husband and proprietor of the paint store, at 121 Boerum

the face and will lose both eyes. When he learned of the death of his

FOR MURDER:EDWARD GEOGHAN ON TRIAL IN THE
COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER.
Edward GEOGHAN, a truck driver, 28 years of age, was
placed on trial this morning in the Kings County Court of
OYER & TERMINER, at which Judge CULLEN is presiding, for murder in the first
degree, in having shot and killed his wife, Ellen GEOGHAN, at the residence
of her sister, Mrs. Catherine BRENNAN, 103 Wyckoff street, on the 8th day of
September last.The case is being prosecuted by District Attorney
RIDGEWAY, while Counselor MCMAHON appears for the accused.
On the day in question, GEOGHAN went to the residence
of his sister-in-law, where his wife was stopping, and
emptied the five chambers of a 32 calibre revolver at her,
two of the bullets took effect, one lodging in the woman's
head and the other in her stomach.One of the bullets, in
glancing off after striking a piece of furniture, slightly
wounded the six-months old child of the couple in the right
thigh, the burning powder from the weapon setting fire to
the child's stocking.Another bullet shattered the index
trigger finger of the murderer.GEOGHAN, after the shooting
threw the revolver into a pail of water in the kitchen and fled
from the house.Patrolman STEABOLD, who lives in the
neighborhood, heard the shots, and on going into the street,
and seeing GEOGHAN in the act of running away, started
in pursuit, and captured him after a short chase.
GEOGHAN on being taken back and being identified by his
wife as her assailant cooly denied that he had done the shooting
or had ever had a revolver; but a carving knife as sharp as a
razor, with which it is supposed he intended to finish the job
if the pistol failed, was found in his breast pocket.The couple
had been married but eighteen months, but quarrels growing
out of the husbands jealousy became so frequent that Mrs.
GEOGHAN resolved to leave her husband.The latter, she said,
had also threatened to kill her and conceived a violent hatred of
her mother.Mrs. GEOGHAN was removed to the hospital, where she died soon after.
Christian CORNEHLSEN died suddenly of apoplexy at his home, 539 Greene avenue
on Wednesday.He was some years ago a noted sportsman and owned

Church, to recover property which she claimed that she had entrusted to him,

who had taken sides with Mrs.STEFFENS in the lawsuit,were prevented from
entering the cemetery, and the body was buried without the undertaker's
assistance. The people were kept out by a policeman acting, it is alleged under
the orders of Pastor BERNHARDT.

Brown's Widows.
When Patrolman Charles L. BROWN, son of Capt. William BROWN, of the
Eighth precinct, died Feb. 4, 1892, he left two widows, consequently
he was a bigamist. He lived with his first wife, Annie, at 218
Forty-fourth street, for a number of years, and they had seven
children. He was a member of the police mutual aid; and his widow
was entitled to $1,000 from the association. He deserted her,
however, and married another woman, Catherine BROWN, and in his will
he left the pension fund to her, notwithstanding the fact that his
first wife after he left her, kept his assessments paid up.
Frederick L. JENKINS, the treasurer of the Police Mutual Fund
Association, paid the money over to the City Court, and both women
have sued for it, and the evidence was heard by chief Judge CLEMENT,
in the Special Term, yesterday afternoon.
Counselor Foster L. BACKUS appeared for Catherine BROWN, and
Counselor ARENS for the first widow.

ACCIDENTAL
A CORONER'S JURY DECIDES REGARDING FLORIST HILL'S DEATH
In the Eighteenth precinct station house, Forty-third street and
Fourth avenue, last night, a Coroner's jury decided that Richard HILL, the
well-known New Utrecht landscape gardener, had died on the 13th inst. from a
fracture of the skull, accidentally received.
The principal witness was Dr. COUGHLIN, the ambulance surgeon, who
attended HILL when he was brought to the transfer station of the B.C.R.R.
Co., at Sixty-fifth street and Third avenue on the evening of Feb. 4, and who
removed him to the Norwegian Deaconesses Hospital, at Forty-sixth street and
Fourth avenue. Dr. COUGHLIN said that he was the attending and house
physician of the hospital as well as the ambulance surgeon.
When HILL came into his hands the doctor thought he was suffering from
alcoholism, exposure and a few contusions. He was delirious, and kept
calling for gin all through the night. The next morning, Sunday, he raised a
disturbance, and in the afternoon was allowed to leave.
Officer George MEYERS testified that he had been called to the
hospital, and had seen HILL there. The florist did not express any desire
either to leave or to stay. Later he had raised a disturbance at the hospital
and the officer had arrested him.
Sergeant HAROLD of the Eighteenth precinct testified that George HILL,
the son of the dead man, had called at the station house before his father's
arrest. No bail had been offered, he said.
George HILL flatly contradicted the Sergeant. He had offered bail, he
said. The young man related the story of his journey home, during which he
said his father raved continually about being struck, and said something
about a policeman.
The jury found that HILL's death was due to accident, and exonerated
the police and the hospital, authorities from all blame, but recommended that
patients of a similar character get better treatment at the hospital in the future.
25 February 1893
Mrs. Mary J. HALL, 83 years of age, died at the Hempstead a few days ago.
Mrs. HALL was descended from a prominent Scotch-Irish family.
Bernard LEAVY, president of the New York and Brooklyn Brewing Company, and
brother of Matthew LEAVY, head of the brewing firm of LEAVY & BRITTON, died
last night at his residence, 203 Hewes street, of pneumonia. Mr. LEAVY had
been ill for nearly a year, and for six months past has been confined to his
bed. The funeral will take place on Monday from the Church of the
Transfiguration, Marcy avenue and Hooper street. A solemn high mass of
requiem will be celebrated. The interment will be in the family vault in
Holy Cross Cemetery at Flatbush. He leaves two sons and two daughters, all
of whom are grown up.
Bernard LEAVY was one of the most popular and prominent men in Catholic
circles in this city. He was born in County Longford, Ireland, forty-seven
years ago, and came to this country at the close of the war. He afterwards
engaged in the brewing business, and, at the time of his death, was one of
the best-known brewers in New York State. When he was president of the
Emerald Society, ten years ago, he started a fund for the erection of a new
asylum, after St. John's R. C. Orphan Asylum was burned down. He was a heavy
contributor, and succeeded in raising a large amount. He was a member of the
St. Patrick's Society, and the Constitution, Columbian and Hanover clubs, of
this city, and of the Catholic Club and the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, of
New York. At last night's meeting of the St. Patrick's Society a committee
was appointed to draft resolutions on his death, and it was decided to attend
the funeral in a body and to send floral tributes. All the other
organizations of which he was a member will also send delegations.

admitted that the patient had been operated upon, but that the operation had
been performed before she had entered Dr. CHASE's house. Deputy Coroner O'HARE

DIED IN THE CELLAR
About 6 o'clock yesterday evening Peter McKEAGNEY, a liquor dealer of
59 Third avenue, while walking in the cellar beneath his barroom stumbled
over the dead body of Charles KUMMER whom he had employed to clean up the place
early in the afternoon. KUMMER was 50 years old and has been living at
lodging houses. His death was caused, it is supposed, by heart disease.
Leander T. POWELL died at this residence, No. 361 Clinton avenue,
at 5 o'clock this morning. He had been sick for about two weeks and for
the last two days has been in an unconscious condition. He was the only
child of David B. POWELL, President of the National City Bank, and was
forty-eight years of age at the time of his death. He was born in this
city and has always made it his home. His education entire was received
here and the young man left the Polytechnic school to go into the insurance
business. He represented for quite a time the Montauk and
Clinton Insurance Companies. On February 8, 1872, he married
Miss Rebecca B. FRANCIS, daughter of John FRANCIS, the furniture dealer on
Myrtle avenue. After his marriage Mr. POWELL began his career as a
wholesale shoe dealer. He was first a member of the firm of Aaron Smith & Co.,
until the death of Mr. SMITH, when he became associated with Robert CAMPBELL.
The firm's name was Powell & Campbell, and their place of business
was at 122 and 124 Duane street, New York. His relation with this
firm was maintained up to the time of his disease. Mr. POWELL was
well known in the shoe line and his house was one of the largest and
best known in New York.
The deceased was well known in club circles and very popular. He was a
member of the Brooklyn, Oxford and Crescent Athletic Clubs in this city and the
Lotus and Manhattan Athletic in New York.
His fondness for yachts was well known and he owned for a time the
Belle Powell, named for his daughter, which was a racer of some
note and the winner of many prizes. He sold this yacht and purchased
the David B., named for his father, which flew the flag of the
Great South Bay Yacht Club of which he was a member.
In business circles he was well known, being a director in the
National City Bank of Brooklyn and the Washington Trust Company,
of New York City. When the Brooklyn Hotel Company was organized,
Mr. PRATT was a prime factor in the work, and at the time of his death was
a director in it.
Mr. POWELL was a conscientious and hardworking business man, his only
recreation being the spending of the summer months at his handsome country
villa in Sayville, L.I., where, with his family, he sought the pleasures
given by his yacht and horses. He leaves a widow and two daughters,
Misses Belle and Ethel.
For the last two years he has been in failing health from a liver complaint,
which became complicated with other affections. He has been confined to
his house for the last six or eight weeks, his extreme vitality bearing
him over many severe attacks.
The funeral services will be held Monday, at 8pm, and the services
will be conducted by the rector of St. Luke's, and Dr. PRESCOTT, of Sayville, L.I.
The interment will be at Greenwood.

HIS DEATH WAS HASTENED. IT IS BELIEVED. BY THE EFFECTS OF A BLOW RECEIVED
FROM A SANDBAG WHEN HE ROBBED LAST SEPTEMBER.
John G. McNARY, a well-known school principal, died at his residence, 150
Mason Street, suddenly of heart Failure, yesterday morning.
Mr. McNARY, had been unable to attend to any business since last September,
when, one evening as he left his home for a few minutes to post a letter, He
was sandbagged on his own doorstep, as he was about to re-enter the house,
and was robbed of a valuable gold watch, which had been presented to him by
the pupils of school No. 45, in New York, of which he had been the principal.
He never recovered fully from the shock he received at that time, and this is
believed to have hastened his death.
Mr. McNARY was born in New York in 1820, and received his education in School
No. 1 of the city. He afterward entered Columbia College, and graduated in
1851, taking the degree of A. B. and A. M.
He began his life as a principal in School No. 11, in New York, and afterward
went to School NO. 45, where he remained until 1863.
He then entered the employ of the Christie Comstock Paper Manufacturing
Company in New York, where he remained until 1875.
He Then went back to School No. 2, as its principal for two years, when he
was transferred to School No. 83, where he remained until last September.
Mr. McNARY, married Elizabeth M. GILL, of this city in 1852. She survives him
as also two sons and one daughter.
The funeral services will be held at his late residence on Saturday

HAMILTON EXECUTED
The Negro Wife Murderer Pays The Penalty For His Crime
Sing Sing,N.Y., April 3.-- James W. HAMILTON, the colored ex-preacher, and
convicted wife murdered, died in the electric chair at 11:10 A.M. It was
10:50A.M.,
when Warden BROWN led the witnesses down to the execution chamber. There was
some delay in getting the dynamo in working order. At 11:10:30, all the
connections were made,and Warden BROWN gave the signal. A current of 1,740
volts turned on, and the victim in the chair jumped upward strainingat the
straps,and remained rigid.
The current was left on for sixty seconds and then turned off. The physicians
stepped forward, listened for the heart-beats, and felt for the pulse. They
declared the subject dead at 11:13:10. The electrocution differed from all
its predecessors,in that only one shock was given. There was no scorching or
scalding of the skin,or steaming at the electrodes,and while the man was
above the medium height and of massive build, it was evideat that death was
instantaneous. Such was the verdict of all who were present, who had seen
former executions in the electric chair.
HAMILTON murdered his wife,whose maiden name was Annie BROOKS, on the
night of May 1,1892. She was the second woman to whom he had been married.
The body was found by two pedlers in a pond half way between Newtown and
Winfield,L.I., with a horrible gash in her throat. A bloody razor and pieces
of a broken cane were found near by. These bits of evidence played an
important part in the trail.
The woman's husband was arrested on suspicion by Capt.HAN?E, of the Flushing
police.HAMILTON had been driven out of many churches for swindling.
FOUR ARE DEAD - Father and Three Children Carried Off in a Single Week.
The father of the household and three children dead in a week- that is
the pathetic record of the FRIERY family, who live in meagre quarters on the
second floor of the tenement, 80 Canton street. Crowds and crowds of people
came to the little home on Saturday evening and Sunday to view the bodies of
the eldest son and two daughters, who ten days ago were in good health, and
Sunday afternoon three black hearses, one following the other, carried away
the remains to Holy Cross Cemetery.
James FRIERY, the father, was 66 years old,and was employed as foreman
in the stables of Hetfield & Ducker, the cracker manufacturers, on lower
Fulton street.
He had been for forty years a resident of the First ward, and was well known
there.
Andrew FRIERY, the oldest son, worked in a furrier's establishment in
NewYork City. Andrew fell sick Saturday,March 18. A bad cold settled on his
lungs, and in less than a week he died. This event occurred Friday,March 24.
The funeral services were held last Monday.
Mary LOCKHART, a widowed daughter, had been suffering with kidney
disease,and the shock of her father's death proved too much for her enfeebled
frame. She expired of heart failure two or three days after the body of her
father was laid in the cemetery.
Andrew FRIERY also fell sick, and quickley developed symptoms of

DR. CHILDS DEAD
Dr.William H.CHILDS,who was taken to New York Hospital last night from 151
West Thirty-fifth street, suffering from opium poisoning, died this morning
at 7 o'clock.Dr.CHILDS was 33 years old, and came from Pittsburg. For a week
he had been living at the above number, in the flat of Mrs.Olive JARDINE. At
10:30 last night Mrs.JARDINE's colored servant went to the West Thirtieth
street station, and asked that an ambulance be sent to the house to remove a
sick man.
Dr.CHAMBERLAIN, of NewYork Hospital, found CHILDS suffering from an overdose
of morphine.He was unconscious when taken to the hospital.
Mrs.JARDINE said that Dr.CHILDS had taken an opiate at 7 o'clock. It had no
effect and an hour later he took a heavy dose of morphine. The drug produced
such an effect that Mrs.JARDINE sent for Dr.DALLAS, of 85 West Thirty-sixth
street, who failed to arouse Dr.CHILDS. Then the ambulance was summoned.
Dr.DALLAS said that Dr.CHILDS had taken the overdose by accident.
Mrs.JARDINE'S flat is locked up to-day.The Coroner will investigate.
SICK AND MONEYLESS, FRANK RILEY ENDS HIS LIFE
Watchman O'BRIEN, of the Atlantic Dock,Erie Basin, noticed a poorly-dressed
young man standing on the dock yesterday evening. Suddenly the man leaped
into the water, and before O'BRIEN reached the stringpiece he had vanished
beneath the surface. He did not reappear, but an old white straw hat,
floating on the water,marked the spot where he had gone down. The officers of
the patrol boat, Judge Moore, were notified,and a search for the body
instituted. It was found some three hours later near the dock. About 4
o'clock this morning, Mrs RILEY, of 252 Van Brunt street, identified the
corpse as that of her husband,Frank RILEY, and it was removed to her home.
RILEY, who has been ill, has been very despondent of late.He would not get
work, and it is supposed that his troubles unbalanced his mind. When found he
had in his pockets only a few cents, in change, and some old pawn tickets.
