His brother William is at present on the police force of the third precinct. He left a wife and two children—one a boy of six or seven and the other a girl about eight years of age. He had also a mother and severai brothers and sisters. O'BRIEN’S STATEMENT OF THE AFFAIR. The reporter of Tux Stak conversed with O’Brien at the third precinct police siation this morning. He said he went on duty at about noon yesterday at Green Springs, and during the afternoon met Cunningham frequently, and conversed pleasantly with him, as they had known each other from boyhood, and hadaiways been on the best of terms. He (O'Brien) had recently been trving to employment for Cunningham, and had finally succeeded in get: ting the promise of a watchman’s place for him on the High street reservoir. He told Cunning- ham this yesterday afternoon at Green Springs, and subsequently, at about halt-past 10 in the evening, referred to the subject in the presence of Mrs. Cunningham, at the same time remark- ing jocularly, and without the slightest inten- — of po offence: Boral fd guanine am, as I have got your husbands position, you must be ‘ofthe appointing power.’ ” C. took 0: at this remark, and replied: ft Yc mean anything bad by that, I want you to ‘now that your wife is a bigger w—e than | am.” Ci also be indignant the and said: Yea; Joe Fletcher took im- wife more than before she married you.” conveys the idea of what but is not literal, as the use of are unfit for pub- above Cunningham said, words he actuali; to protect his wife's honor. and knocked Cun- ningham down. Lieutenant Escex, who was near by. then came up, took h's badge and baton trom him, and ordered him to go into a house in the [ge kept by Joseph Ehrmantrout.

Essex and Officer Volk- man, but in rej to Cedens he has no 5 seiz recollection. asserts: meant nothing offensive by his remark to Mrs. Cunningham: that she was always a woman; and that he hed frequently joked with her before show of resentment on her part. He says that if his wife is innocent of the charges made against her, he is not sorry for what has occurred, and if ‘such is his tate will go to the ecaffold with a firm tread, e he believes it the duty of every husband to protect his wite’s honor; but if his wife reay deceived him he is indeed sorry, and should it transpire that Gan- ningham's assertion was true. he course, live with her any lorger. He does not however, believe his wife the woman repre- sented by Cunningham, ard will not until the facts charged are proved true.

A meeting of supjorters of the bogus central republican comunittee was held last night in the 7th district, John T. Costin im the chair, Sampson Netta secretary, who read the reso!a- tion adopted by the bogus general committee calling upon the various district clubs to eleet delegates tor a nominating convention to select & candidate for delegate in congress. Some dozen jumped up at once and moved to lay the resolutions on the table; ae many more who were opposed to this disposition of it were on their feet in a twinkling, and great confusion fol- lowed for some time every one talking at once, aud it was uot long before A VIGHT WAS THREATENED im one corner of the room where the crowd gathered the thickest; some stripping off their costs ww jumpin. Loud and angry words fol- lowed and the chair could do nothing. Finaily the turbulent ones simmered down, and Samp- eon 4 got the floor, and moved that as there so many disorderly persons present they adjourn and go home. “Many objected to this, auuthe cuniusion being about to be repeated the chair rapped then: down, and said they acted like FOOLS AND CKAZY PEOPLE. ‘The resolution beture them was the property ot the club—they coalc do as they pleased, but let ther act as if they bad some sense and not like fools. Disorder aud squabbling was again commenced, during which all sorts of motions were nade, When Sampson Netta said tho blue coats were coming and would clear them al! out. ‘tue chair charged that Robert Gilchrist bad the disorder, but said there was always living to bury the dead; colored people, it seems. can never come together and act with any sort of gentility or decency. The ecenes enacted by his race were enough to make angels shed tears of sorrow. They were ORSE THAN THE KUKLUX, wi.o, though they transacted theirj business in fecret, It was in order.

Tho’ rules erning the coming 'primagy election, issu ave by the republican committee, were read, when Mr. | Herbert remarked that he opposed the recom- mendation of the committee in regard to the | manner of conducting primary elections. Jos Weems did not favor the recommendation. It emanated trom the office ot Wm. A. Cook, and he, forone, wanted it SENT BACK WITH SCORN. Under the recommendations no cue bat a Grant man could vote. He moved the rules lay onthe table. Several persons seconded the motion. but, by request, Weems withdrew It. Wm. H. Brown, dr.. also opposed the recommendation of the general committee. Weems then went on to say that he was present in the oftice of Wm. A. Cook when he (Cook) dictated the rales to bis clerk. Mr. Herbert, the president, called him to order for TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL. At this point thore was much disorde: Was materially increased by a lunat Wm.

Prazee again took the floor, and gesuculating violentiy, yelled to the president: *1 have got enough money to buy you, and "ll sell you next year.” After much disorder the chair put a motion to lay the recommendations of the gen- eral committee on the table, and decided it car- ried by a unanimous vote. ‘Wm. B. Brown, jr., begged that the vote be reconsidered, as this disposition of the recommendations wa3an insult to the general committee. A voice.—‘We want to insult them.” Mr. Brown then oifered a res- olution, but subsequently withdrew it, that the club will hold a primary election, but will reserve the right to in#ke all necessary arrange- mente for the same. The chair desired to know how the members of the executive committee should be appointed, when ANOTHER ROW arose, and lasted tor nearly half an hour. During the rumpus Mike Shiner and Wm. Brazee beeame involved in a persona! altercation, in the course of which the tormer called the latter A LIAR AND A TRAITOR, and threatened to whack him over the head with his big stick. Finally the chair re juested the police to remove Brazee, but they refused to interfere. After along squabble itwas de- cided that the chair appoint the members of the executive committee. A resolution offered by George Keed endorsing the board of public works was laid on the table amid much conta sion. The chair appointed the following execu- tive committee: Joseph Weems, Mathias Brown, John Clark, Henry Better, Michael Shiner, John H.

Philip Gould, a colored man,came to Spring Millson that day to at- tend the juc-nic of a company of colored soldiers trom Camden, and while standing near the rail- way saw, just as the Keading express was round- ing @ curve and dashing down upon them with freghtful speed, five ladies stauding upon the track.

Gould was struck by the engine, tossed over the smoke-stack, and fell on the tender, trom where he rolled to the ound, horribly mangled and quite dead. Never did trner hero die a more heroic death than did Gould; for while the majority of the men thus classed bave been heroes whose fame rested on the numbers of their fellow-beings whom they have cuused to be slain, bis fame ‘was of a far nobler kund, for be was a hero who died to save.
