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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

which he has been a sufferer for two years.  BOWE was a retired 
policeman.  He had an excellent record.
    
     George GONTHEIL, 57 years old, a cigarmaker, died suddenly at his 
home, 4 Thompson place, early this morning.  Dr. John W PIERCE, of West 
Eighth street, Coney Island, was called on examination stated that 
GONTHEIL had died of asthma.

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

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

MACMAHON, who died at her late home, 93 Monroe street, on Tuesday.  A 
large number of personal and professional friends of the family crowded 
the edifice.  The Rev. Father McCARTHY, of Sheepshead Bay, was the 
celebrant.  He paid a high tribute to Mrs. MACMAHON as a devoted wife, 
an affectionate mother and a sincere friend.  Interment followed at

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