Rogers, the well Known proprietor of the Boston Journal, in the fifty-first year of hisage. The deceased journalist was born in Massachusetts, on the 29th of September, 1818, his father being the pub- lusher of a weekly newspaper called the Na- tional Aigis, in the office of which he Jearned the trade of a printer and became acquainted with the profession of journulism. He also passed some ears of his life on his grandfather's farm, on which ie labored for a small remuneration. Finally he became a clerk, and after being employed in various establishments entered the office of the Journal as bookkeeper and general business manager. At his suggestion a morning edition of the paper was started and conducted successfully. After the lapse of some years he, in partner ship with an elder brother, became one of the proprietors, and later he became the sole owner. Asa journalist he was most successful, his paper gaining an enviable popularity in New Eng- land and obtaining a large circulation. Personally, Mr. Rogers was a most estimable gentleman, and the many people who knew him, either professionally or ca ly. will hear of his death with profound regre' Isaiah Rogers. This well known architect died at Cincinnati on the 13th inst., in the sixty-ninth year of his age. He was born in Massachusetts, on the 17th of August, 1800, received an excellent education, and, on enter- ing upon the duties of his profession, soon became rominent. He was the architect of the ‘'remont fouse, Boston; the Astor House, New York; the Burnet House, Cincinnati; the Overton House, " ville; the Carthage Lunatic Asylum, and of numer- ous other buildings of note throughout the country. ALLEGED SUICIDE OF A SPIRITUALIST. He Dies in a Station House—Testimony of a Test Medium. It is now alleged that Mr. Edwin Rogers, the man who died in the Seventeenth precinct police station, where he had applied for lodgings on Tuesday night, as heretofore reported in the HzRa.pD, died from the effects of a dose of morphine, taken by himself for the purpose of self-destruction. Deceased was a firm believer in spiritualism; but, although a man of ability, he had become sadly reduced in cir- cumstances and was unable ¢o meet his current expenses. Hence his resolution to terminate an existence which had become burden- some to him. Some further light was yesterday thrown upon the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Rogers by the appearance before Coroner Keenan, at his office in the City Hall, of John B. Conklin, a well known spiritualist. Mr. Conklin, who lives at 154 Fourth street, deposed to being ac- quainted with deceased, who was a piano maker by trade and algo an author; on Tuesda: evening de- ceased called upon the witness at his room and handed him a paper and asked him to read it when he left; deceased asked the witness to loan him ten cents, and on receiving the money heJeft; Mr. Conklin then read the paper, and to his astonishment found it to be his ( rs') obituary notice, to which was attached the name of the witness; eased ten irs previously had attempted to commit suicide by jumping overboara from a ferryboat; on Sunday last deceased told the witness he was tired of living, and asked him what he thought of suicide; Mr. Conklin tola him that if he took his own life he would be an unwelcome est in the other world; subsequently the witness eard of Rogers’ death by reading the HgRaLp. A t-mortem examination was made on the body by Dr. Shine, but no positive poison could be detected, although it is firmly believed deceased had swaliowed a dose of morphine; if so it had been absorbed in the system, and will require an analysis of the internal organs to learn the truth of the alle- gations. Deceased was about thirty-three years of age and a native of Long Island. He had a room corner of Sixth avenue and Ninth street, but was unable to square accounts with his landlady, After reading the obituary notice Mr. Conklin gave it toa friend for the of having the same in- serted in one of the Morning journals, While in the Coroner's office Mr. Conklin said that for the last year he had been writing letters for one of the New York weeklies through the spirit of Edgar A. Poe. The cage will be further investignted by Coroner Keenan. we REINGNEN?S UNION. oe RECA A reguiar meeting of the te fes from the vari- ous trade organizations comprising the Working- men's Unton was held last evening at Early Closing Aall, 267 Bowery, with the president, Mr. Jessup, in the car. The meeting was called for eight o'clock, but it wag y2lly three-quarters of an hour aiter that time before the rv!! Was called. During the calling of the roll the Pres,’ent ordered the secretary to notify the Laborers’ Union 8nd the Unitea Coop- ers No. 4 of their continued absen<e and the penalty attaching thereto.

The Présiden: nounced that at @ special meeting hela on Saturday last a committee was appointed to make arrange- ments for a m meeting to be held this (Friday) evening, at per Institute, to support the patnters in their strike. A delegate from the Journeymen Tatlora reported that the movement mude by the journeymen to equalize the rate of compensation had been success- ful in obtaining the consent of the principal em- ployers. He reported that those who worked on ready made clothing were progressing with their MS me and would ere long join the union, ir. Young, from iTypograp hical Union No. 6, reported that the strixe of the book printers had ended, the men had all gone to work, and the union ‘was at peace. The Laborers reported great opposi- tion from non-society men. Several delegates an- nounced that the societies which they represented intend to hold public meeti; The Varnishers and Polishers announced through their delegate that at a meeting they lad decided to claim an advance of twenty per cent on the present rate of wages. They announced the determination of the society to the employers, and gave them until Saturday. evening next to comply. The President called the attention of the Union to the strike of the Second avenue car drivers, and suggested that the matter should be made the subject of comment at the mass meeting to be held this evening. Mr. oan from the Typographical, and Mr. Ennis, from the Piasterera’ Union, spoke on the subject, and berated the public functionaries, and especially Marshal Tooker. On motion of Mr. Young @ committee of five was appointed to con- sider a plan of life insurance which had been pro- tothe union. The committee, as appointed, consists of Messrs.

The union then went into committee of the whole to complete arrangements for the mass meeting to be held this evening. THE NEW YORK HERALD AND THE LONDON TiMCS.

Passed in the House=Shaky Condition of the Broadway Surface Kail- road. ALBANY, April 15, 1869. The Naturalization law, as it ia called, was before the Senate to-day. ‘There was a very bitter debate upon it, but it passed by the votes of all the Senators present except Mr. Creamer, who voted in the nega- tive, Mr. Creamer’s objection to this bill was under- stood to be that, while all its provisions are exclu- sively of @ penal character, there is nothing in it which gives the naturalized citizen who may have lost his naturalization papers, the right to prove that fact by aMdavit. As the law stands now it is dis- cretionary with the election oMoclals to receive his amMdavit or not. Senator Creamer thinks that this protection should be extended to naturalized citi- zens. ‘The bill which passed the House to-day restraining the Comptroller from renting stalls in any of the New York markets to others than residents of the State met with some opposition, on the ground that it was in violation of the constitution of the United States, which guarantees to citizens of one State the rights enjoyed by the citizens of all. This ob- jection, however, was not as strong as that of Mr, Hixon, who urged that the bill deprived the Comp- trolier of the power to rent market stalls to the advantage of the city Seeamary, The argument that the law would exclude producers of agricultural oducts from the markets was answered by Mr. iunkett, who stated that this class had the privi- lege of selling from thetr wagons on payment of a small fee, and the bill was aimed at the middie-men or speculators in stalls, who rented, not from the city, but from private individuals who somehow get the right to rent the stails, The Broadway Surface Railroad bill was tabled tn the Senate to-day by a vote of eighteen to thirteen. The Governor's veto of the 125th street bill seems to have fallen like a pall upon the Broadway scheme, But tts supporters are no doubt prepar- ing for another spring. There is no doubt, how- ever, that the opinion prevails with many that the bill 1s not in a heaithy condition just now. There may possibly arrive one of these days a powerful combi- nation of the interests which have suffered and may yet suffer from the Governor's inflexible views of ‘thus kina pe aageaeuan which may attempt to over- ride all his road vetoes. Should thts occur, of course the Governor’s record stands good for econo- my and the protection of the public righta, ‘he following is the bill passed in the Senate for the prevention of frauds at elections:— SEOTION 1..

About two months ago the Combnon Council of the City of Churches, in a moment of waprecedented gen- erosity, engendered by pride at the action of the Inman Steamship Company in naming one of their new ships after the city of Brooklyn, voted the sum of $600 towards the purchase of a set of colors, whica latter were yesterday presented to Captain Brooks on board that splendid steamship. The party from Brooklyn, consisting of Mayor Kalbfeisch, members of the Board of Aldermen and Supervisors, heads of departments of the local government and others, to the number of about seventy, left on board a steamtug from the foot of Montague street at two o'clock and reached the ship after half an hour's sail at pier 45 North river. The vessel was found dressed in her gayest colors, and a fine band of music stationed on the quarter deck tent éolat to the occasion. Captain Brooks received the party at the head of the gang- way and cordially welcomed the visitors. Several gentlemen of New York were found inspecting the vessel, and among others were nis Honor A. 0, Hall, Mayor, and Judge Barnard, of the Supreme Court. The magnificent appearance ana condition of the new ship in each and every department was such as to draw forth the most eulogistic comments from all. At three o'clock the company were es- corted to the saloon, and the formal presentation of the colors took place. Mayor KaLBFLEISCH, addressing the commander of the ship, said:— CaPrain BRooKs—The munictpal authorities of the city of Brooklyn havo delegated to me the pleasing duty of for- mally presenting to you a set of colors with which to decorate this beautiful vessel, which beara the name of the city we Fopresent. The compliment which in 40 doing the directors ofthe Inman line of steamships have paid the city, let me assure you, is fully appreciated by our citizens, and Is re- ceived as one of the many tokens of kind and fraternal fee!- ing which our European brethren have of late years mani- fested toward the American people. I am convinced that nothing has tended so much to arouse these kindly feelings of the water and to promote a senilment of brotherhood between distant nations as the establishment and success of the great fleet of ocean stearn- ships to which this splendid vessel is the latest, but not the Teast, addition. ‘Through their means the voyage across the vast ‘expanse of waters which divides two continents, once so formidable an undertaking, has now become in com: parison but @ trip across the ferries. If your magnificent Veasels have not annihilated space, they certainly bave cur- tafled time, so that a journey that often consumed eight or nine weeks now takes about as many days. Thus a trip to the “old land” and the event of a lifetime bas now become a frequent occurrence and excites scarcely any more comment than the most ordinary transactions in life. of intercommunication thus increased, the people of different countries have come to know and understand each other bet- Binary each other the more. Your steamship d_ emigration to our shores of the host of sturdy and industrious people from all lands; for, as a general rule, none but that class have the means or courage to seek thelr fortunes in a new country. ‘These, at this time, form a large portion of the population of the United States, and particularly of the city of Brooklyn and the other communities around us whose main access to the ocean is by way of Sandy Hook. If I am correctly in- fe the number thus brought over by the Taman line of iclont en Delaware or Khode Inlan . Overshadowed by the ae tropolis on Manhattan Island, the name ¥ our is, per- haps, but little known asross the water.

Boston, April 15, 1969, During the past year or more the business men and others of Lowell have been annoyed by the less of Money placed in letters for transmission throngh the mails, and fora long time the guilty party worke! his card so ingeniously and shrewdly that he set at defiance all the practices of the special agent of the Post Office Department until yesterday morning, when he was detected in the act of opening two letters, which con- tained valuable papers, though no money was in them. The name of the guilty party is Philip P. Haggerty, forty-two years of age, having a wife and four children, and residing in Lowell, The pecula- tidns of this man have been going on for tne past two years, For this length of time it has been known that letters ‘ing through the Lowell office and phe office in ¥ “ Mh’ Pog Post- fnastét Goodwin, of the formér Office, relaxed no efforts to detect the thief, but he fatled to discover any clue tg the | pariy.

Hi rty was immediate! taken into custody. He at first denied his gulit but soon after confessed to Rg | bo the letters which he had brought from the office. The peculator was brought to this city, and yesterday afternoon he was taken before United States Commis- stoner Hallet and bound over in the sum of $5,000 for examination, and was committed to jail for want of bail. Among the losers by Haggerty's pecula- tions is J, C.

Factory girls, too, are among his vict One operative sent twenty-five dollars abroad and it was never received. Registered letters were missed about a year and 8 half ago, and ever since that time an effort has been made to apprehend the guilty party. Haggerty Was seen last week by another clerk in the oMice to act very po aay , And a good deal of importance was at- tached to his conduct, and the sequel to which has transpired.
