Character Chased by the Police— essed Closely, and Blows Out His PquanKersm, August 27, 1866. ‘This city was thrown into a stato of excitement yester- ay afternoon by a report, which was fully credited on the streets, that Aaron Ward, a notorious rough, had blown his brains out, while being pursued by the police, ‘and that the deed had been committed in a barn, about two miles from town. The facta of the case are sub- stantially as follows:—Last Friday afternoon Ward, with two other individuals, named Walter S. Fuller and Charles Davidson, felonionsly took a horse and wagon from a Mr. Barringer, for wom Ward worked, and pro- cooded to Hyde lark, where all indulged freety in drink, abused and insulted the landiord, and left again for Ponghkeepsie, without paying their bilis, thelr way back they assaulted threo iaborers, two of them named Perey and the other Irving. One of the Percve was on the head with a stone end seriously if not fatally injured. Daoring the meiée Ward fired a revolver at ons of the gga | Jaborers and Tho hep age proceeded to where he was injured by the stone was plac-d on a bed and medical asstatance given him. The other two went Justice Dennis, Who tssned war- rants for the of Ward, Fuller and Davidson. The two latter were four nd fined $25 each, while Ward’s case was placed in hands of the police of this city. POLIOR ON THF TRACK OF WARD, Saturday night a consuitation was held at police hend- quarters, and a course marked out by ich it war thougint Ward could be apprehended, officers Halsted and Vandevort taking the matter in their charge, Knowing Ward to be a notorious and desperate rough, they fully prepared themeeives for auy emergency, and started on their mission. During yesterday they rece ved informa- tion that Ward had returned to tho rosidence of Mr. Barringer, on the Salt Point road, about two miles from here, and was then resting there, WHAT WAKD WAS DOIKG, In the meantime Ward was eating his dinner vory quietly at Mr. Barringer's, the family being present and unacquainted with the affsir of Friday. Previous to ‘Ward's sttting down to his dinner his brother arrived on the place and was going by the barn when Ward whistled for itn, When his brother camo up to him Ward said, pretty sad affair; how's things in Poughkeep- is brother told him there were al! sorts of ru- mors afloat about the affair of Friday and that the police wero jooking forbim. Ward looked at bis brother and said, “They will never take mo alive”’ Judging from this conversation it is for to presume that Werd up- bted!y supposed he had killed the man he fired at on day, as he had no opportunity to glean any informa. to the resnit of bis shot, since he fied immed- oly after firing it. After the above conversation took P'a © Ward went into dinner and his brother left, Whi'o exting, Mra. Barringer observed a wagon loaded with wie atop in front of the farm house and told Ward of it, who walked to the window and seeing how affairs were muttered an oath and fled, going into and ascend- ing to the upper loft of the barn. The police, for it was they in the wagon, afier considerable delay proceeded to the barn and ascen‘led to the mow also, when A TRRAMLR HOUT was presented to their eves. There in a corner lay the headiess body of Aaron Ward, the sides of the building covered with the brains and spattered with blood, while above hanging on a nail was a part of the ecalp and skall oft the suicide which had been biown there, the batr still banging from it. By the side of the body was found a powder flask and a double barreled gon with one barrel d.scharged, To al pearances be had placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, and with bis night baud, which was blackened with powder, pulled the trigger, It was indeed a terrible sight. All about the Jott were seen peces of flesh and clots of blood. The entire head, trom the apex of the chin id toa locality below the ears, was gone, torn into such small Pieces and sbreds that it was tmporsible to collect them all, He had indeed fuifilied his promise never to be taken alive. ‘THE FUICID?

Thiden, NO 45 Grainefey place, in this city, after an iiness Of g few days, Mr. Richmond returned to New York 1 om Washington, where he had gone after the 7m gielphia Convention, on Sunday morning, Angust ‘39, and stopped, as usual, at the Bt. Nicholas Hotel. Prorivg Sunday gentlemen who visited him observed in htm an unusual tendency to drowsiness, but atsributed St to the fact that he had been travelling all of the pre- eoding mght, On Sunday afternoon he first exhibked svmptoms of serious indisposition, which, increasing as the evening advanced, induced his removal from the St. Nicholas to the residence of Mr. Tilden, in order to secure for him that quiet which could not be obtained at the hotel; capectally on the eve of the meeting of the Dem- ccratic State Committee, which Mr. Richmond was on his way to attend. On Monday, August 20, his physi- cian, Dr, Blakeman, became alarmed, and on Tuesday and the following days of last week, Drs. Alonzo Clark, Willard Parker, W. H, Van Buren, Metcalf and Flint were called in for consultation in his case, On Friday evening the patient appeared to enjoy more ease and was conscious for the greater part of tho night. ‘This somewhat revived the hope of his friends on Satur- day; but on Sunday he commenced sinking rapidly, and although at twelve o'clock at night his immediate de- cexse was not anticipated, he expired at ten minutes past two, He died without any struggle, passing away go easily shat it was diMenit to tell at what precise moment live ceased within him. His wife, who had been summoned to tho city on Tuesitay last, from Brantford, Connecti. cut, together with his son Henry, who had but recently turned from a European trip, were with him at the time of his death, as was also his medical adviser, Dr. Blakeman. The immediate cause of death is reported to have been Bright's disease of the kidneys, a fatal and generally very painful malady. The torpidity of tho brain in Mr. doctors to have saved him from any acute suffering. Mr. Richmond was eminently a self-made and self- educated man, and may truly be cafled a representative man of the country. He was born in Vermont on the 13th of March, 1804, and removed with bis parents to Syracuse, N. Y., 1n 1812, He was loft an orphan at the ave of fourteen, without means or relatives to protect lum, A gentleman of Syracuse, by the name of Shank- Jand, in a‘fuent circumstances, kindly invited him to his home. Dean accepted the offer, being destitute of the neceseary clothing to protect’ him from tho approaching winter. This benevolent gentieman furnished him with clothing and means to discharge obligations conso- quent upon the sickness and death of his father. On the opening ‘of epring he found himeelf indebted to Mr, Shankjand about two hundred dollars, This amount our young hero propoeed to pay in labor, which was assented to by Mr. Shankland, without fixing the amount. Such was the energy with which he prosecuted his labors that at the end of the year Mr. Shankland settled his account and atlowed him the wages of aman. He not Richmond’s case is believed by the || only discharged the debt, but saved to himself about one hundred doljars, with which capital he, in company with @ young man about his own age, bought kettles and commenced the bus ness of boiling salt at Malina, In this trado he goon became a proficient, and had acon- mulated a considerable eum before he attained his ma- jJonty. He formed a market for his salt in the ports of Lake Ontario, transporting it in boats down ‘tho Oswego river, and made considerable money by this means. Ho also engaged in other enterprises, While tho Erie canal was in process of construction he con- tracted to deliver at Schenectady a large quantity of ‘water cement, to be used In building the locks between that point and the Hudson river. He was eminently succesefi:l in his enterprise, making a large profit there- by. He followed the business of salt making for several year, «lways industrious and most iotelligent in ite pur- suit, and gradually extending the sphere of his opera. tions nutil 1t embraced financial and commercial transac- tions of a comprohensive character. Hie start in life, however, grew ont’ of a henevo- Jent action on his part im kindly undertaking to close up the affairs of an embarrassed estate left toa widow lady of Syracuse. Her husband, a resident of the town, engaged tn the lumber for several years on the Ohio, wus taken sick, ‘oat + marketed lumber, and te busibess, Being in ® very loose condition, required immediate attention, The could get no one 0 go 80 fur awny to attend to closing the estate until Mr. Richmond voluntecred to un- dertake the business, He staried for Ciacionati, where he found everything in a confused state, accounts due, id anuiober seatiered at differont points Going to work, with determinat.on however, he svon collect d tne accounts and sold off the lumber and in six months was ready ( return home, He found himeelf in possession of $8,000 and buying a horse started for home, where bo arrived in rat with the money to paisa the heart of the widow. The whole neighbor. hood partook of the joy that had #9 vnexpectedly aur- tear | the widew and orphans. The widew would Intrust the care of this money to no one else but Mr. Ricumond, and he invested $6,000 in bonds and mortgages, and retained §4,000 as a loan, opon which he paid the widow interest ontil he returned the principal. With this money he waa able to engage in business, which proved successiul, enabling him to returp the loan withta five years, This event m his life gave bim @ portion and character for business that opened the door for his future success, ‘This wos his Grst actual start In business, at time Dean Richmond began to acqu re pos character that increared in importance + p to the tine of his death, when he possessed largo political aud com- mercial infiuence and commanding wealth.

Though incapable of making a speech, incapable of even inviting one to dinner in grammatical language, and naturally tude in the use of expletives, especially when arouted, yet by his various acmmistrative quali- tice, bis habits of cool and keen observation, his intuitive knowledge of character, his reticence,’ and yot open-banded, open-heurtedneas, he managed. to wield for years greater political intl her po tician of New York, and eve Y convention proved him to be “a power in the land.’ The had no aspirations for offiee—refused ali political dist netion, as if he felt that he coold not graco a high position aud that to accept any other would belittie him— and be preferred to be the power bebind rather than pga the throm. or many yeart he hat been the controlting epirit of the Albany Regency, succeeaing Mr, Crosaweit sition about 1860,” ‘Indeed Mir.

At the Charieston Convention a punber of amuring incidents marked the mectings of the New York dele- tion, over whi h Mr, Ri ond presided. A form d- bie minority in the delegation were opposed to the polioy of novainating Mv. Do gas, and them wero Erastus Curning and Edwin’ Crogweil, At one porind of the session at Charleston, a resolution, very shrewdly drawn and ealculaied to seriously em: barrass the majorty, wus sprung suddenly upon the committes by Mr. Crosweil, teveral members saw at once the @ecessity of defeating the resolution, bat no person seemed to know exactly m what shape fo offer his amendment. The consequence was that several ameudments were hurriedly made, and five or six were piled unceremoniously one pon anottier, ‘unti! at last one of them struck the Chairmat the matter in the proper shape, “That amen in order,’ exclaimed Mr. R., in the m dst of the confu- ston, aud rappiny lustily on the table; “Those in favor t's carr.ed,"? 8 wew s rprised at this summary proceeding, Mr. Cochrane, wiih his accustomed courtesy and admitted parliamentary skill, rose and b-gged t raise the point of order that no more than two amendtnents cou d be offered to an original proposition at one time, and that more than two been made prior Ww the one thus acted upon, “D—n parliamentary rules!” exclatined the Charman, roto v ce, “ths amendmen’ carried, by G—d! and its gong to stick, too.” And he passed on Sinmediately to another #ibject, But at the adjourned meting at Baltunére, when the Southern blood was up, .F. Richmond showed to wot adventuge. His pertect nonchalance and abrupt, de- cisive mannor, puzzled the “chivalry.” At one period of the Conventon, incensed at the hea !way making against the effort to induce the whole of the Southern States to secede in « body, and Leaied by frequent ap plications at the bar, some of the jeading tire-eaters grow Herce and blustering, and, like Paddy at the fair, were eager to (ind some person willing to tread on the tails of | their politica! cont, A party of theso prgnacio's gen- tl men, who bad made one successful and several inef- fectual’ efforta to get up a tight with some prominent Northern deiegates, approached Mr, Riebmond at t Eutaw Houre i an abrapt and somewhat offensive man- ner. “ 1r,’’ said one of their number, twirling his heavy m stache with much fervcity, “{ ask you, as a leading Northern man, what you think of the action of our Southern delegations, sir’? “Thiok!? replied Mr. Richmond, wiih bs bands in bis pockers, “why, by G—4, I think you're making d—d fools of your selves!” The “chivalry” reddened, stared a moment, and then quietly turned to the bar aud ordered drinks, Sociaily Mr. Richmond was one of the must genial of men, kind-hearted and charitable to excess, and he never mad@ an acquaintance witho.t maxing a friend. Proba- biy no man in the State ever gave more liberally to charitable and political cbjects than Mr. Rchmond, and numerous are the instances of his unosteniatious curity. Every deserving }oor fam ly at his home has 6x- perienived the beueiit of tis generosity; it is known that his gifts and donations during the war rea;hed many thonsands of doliara, Some twenty families mn Gonesee and Erie counties were entirely fp 4 lec by Mr. Rehmond while ther husbands and fa hers were absent at the war; and in every instance few bat the recipients knew of his genorous # t. Soime years ago Mr. Rictimond, while at Albany, acci- dentally met hie old triend and former patron, Ur. Shankland, who, it w.il be remembered, «aided him when a@ youth, The nterview was most cordial and in- teresting, and their eyes were suffused with tears as they recounted each other's succe-ses and disap- polntments. The younger man had been sora nate in his accumuia:ion of wealth, and the elder one unfortunate, living upon a small farm in one of the Jower counties of the tate, for which he Ftill owed the sum of $300, secured by mortgage.

The habit once gave an acquaint. anee who did not know Mrs. Rehmond a singular idea of that very ciegant and Christian lady entirely at vari- ance with her true character, The gentleman had expressed his surprise thas @ railroad mauager who travelled so much by rail had never been present at any great rajiroad accident, “Never have,” said Richmond, “but expect to be some time.
