. 10 TRAUELY ON _ nm STATEN ISLAND. MURDER AND SUICIDE. A Girl of Eleven the Victim. Intense Excitement at Tomp- kinsville. CORONER'S INQUE One of the most terrible murders which has oc- curred in this vicinity for a long time past was com- mitted yesterday in the village of Tompkinsville, Staten Island, the victim being a girl eleven years of age, named Emma darrington, a@ud the murderer a man by the nawe of Garrett Roche. The facts relat- ing to the case are as follows BEFORE THE MURDER. About a year ago the man Roche called upon the father of the young girl, Mr. Cornelius Harrington, who keeps a boot and shoe store corner of Griffin and Main streets, and stated that was a first class workman and desired employment. Being in want of assistance just at that paruicular time Mr. Harring- ton engaged him, and in a short time became quite taken up with his new employé, who appeared to be uot only a good workman but also very sober and industrious, AS he was a stranger on the is and Mr, Harrington, in order to make hina as com- fortabie as posible, had a room ‘ited up for him in his own house, and, at his request, boarded him at his own table, A few months ago, however, a change seemed to come over Roche, for instead of atiending faitnfully to his work he got in the habit of absenting himself from the shop tor days at a time, nor did he deign to give his employer any ¢ pianation whatever of his conduct on his return. Moreover, the latter ‘egan to percei that Roche came home very often under the induence of liquor, and, although he felt very much annoyed at the circumstance, be did not for Some time take him to task about the matter, and when he finally did so he spoke to him kindly and advised him to change his ways. Mr. Harrington’s advice was not altogether lost upon Rocie, for, after every spree, he appeared to feel very badly about his misconduct, and often promised to amend his lite. But, notwithstanding all this, he continued to become more aad more careless about his business, and finally totaliy disregarded the good advice of h On Sunday, the 27th ult., he left Mr. Harrington's, and took the early morning boat for this city, and did not return unttl last Wednesday. His appearance then showed plainly enough that he had been drinking to excess, although he was not under the slightest influence of liquor when he en- tered the store, He exchanged a few words with Mr, Harrington, who spoke to him in his usually kind manner, and at once went up stairs to his Workshop, and asked one of the other workmen to go down and get some work for Nim from Mr. Har- rington. The work was sent upto him, and he con- tinued to work steadily all the day long. The fol- Jowing day he absented himself, and returnea about eigit o’cloek on Monday evening, when he entered the store and asked his employer for ten cents to getshaved. After getting the money he went out, and at ten o'clock Mr. Harrmgton saw him go up stairs to bed looking quite sober, About eleven o’clock ali the family retired for the night. The bedrooms in Mr. Harriugton’s house are situ- ated on the third floor, and, owing to the fact that a lady friend of his wife had arrived in the morning to remain a few days on a friendly, visit, Mr. Harrington himself s'ept on Monday night in a front room ad- joining another front room in which were his wite, her visitor and lis two children, Ella, aged six years, ana Emma, a very pretty girl, aged eleven years, Roche occupied a small room on the same Moor, but in the rear of the house, and in order to reach either of the other two rooms from the rear it 18 necessary to traverse @ small corridor. About six oclock yesterday morning Mr. Harrington was awakened by a slight noise in the hallway, as though somebody Was coming towards his room, while en- deavoring to move about as stealthi as pos sible. He was about to get up to see what was the matter, when Koche came along and stopped at the door. He was in his shim sleeves, @ud, aitaough apparentiy not under the influence of liquor, looked rather haggard and gazed about him witha ant sta Mr. Harrington asked him how he was, when Roche, starting, as though he had not been aware of the presence of any person in the room into which he was peering, replied that he didn’t feel at ail unwell, although he had not been abie to sleep during the night. He then turned about and went back to his room, when Mr. Har- mngton got up, dressed himself and went down stairs, where he found that his wife and her visitor had preceded him, and were busily engaged in reparing the table for breaktasi. No sooner had. Mr. Harrington left his room tuan Koche glided out of his and made his way stealthy along the corridor until he had reacied the two front Toowls, and then, after hesitating for a moment, as though undecided which to erfter, strode into the one Witch had been occupied during the night by Mrs. Harrington aud ker visitor. The two little girls, Ella and Emma, were still in the room. The latter, as he entered, was standing by the bedside In her might clothes in the act of lacing oue of her shoes, Roche sprang towards and asked, ‘Where is your money box!” The little girl turned about quick- ly as she heard his voice and was aboutyto reply, when, quick as thought, he caught her by the back of the neck and brandishéd a shoemaker’s knife over her head, The little thing endeavored to elude his grasp, and had partially succeeded in doing so, when te mage several passes at her with the knife, the sharp blade cutting @ dee; gash in the back of her neck ana tearing several ugly wounds in the tender Mesh of ber arms as she raised them, clildiike, to protect her face. The next instant He had seized her by the bair and drawn the kfiife twice across her throat, from from which, a8 the child fell to the floor a corpse, the blood gushed forta in torrents over the night gown which she wore and the bedclothes which she had grasped bola of during the deadly struggle. THE SUICIDE. Although the murder was but the work of an in- stant, 80 Intent Was the murderer upon his horrid crime that he did not see the younger child Bila, who had been awakened by the strugyie of the mur- derer with tus victim, Jump out of the bed and flee down stairs, where Bhe found her father and mother, and to whom she eommunicated as best she could what was being done tn the room above. On hearing the child, amia her sobs, tell how Roche had entered the room and attacked her sister with a knife Mr. Har- rington rushed up stairs, followed by his wife, and, Jittic Emma lying in @ pool of blood, with wer throat Oi course, On entering the children’s bedrovm, found cut from ear to ear, The poor father in his agony of heart took up the corpse in his arias aud rab down stairs, crying out “Murder” at the top of nis voice. A Mr. Ambrose, who happened to be in the Ftreet, heard the outcry and rusted into the house, The fatuer on seeing him gently laid the iifeless form of lis child on a lounge, and, taking up aclub, @ashed up stairs. The two men entered Roche's room at the same time, but he was not there, and on going into the workshop, which is on the ‘sathe Moor as the room, they found him lying dead in a poo! of blood, with his throat cut and ashoeuaker’s knife ughtly clutched in bis right bana. THE EXCITEMENT IN THE VILLAGE when the intelligence of tue terribie tragedy had heen bruited about was of thé most intense character Many of those who crowded about the house wouyld not believe that the murderer had taken his own life, and at once entered the place in search of hum. determined to make lim pay the penaity of mis crime without awaiting the slow process of law; nor were tley satisfied that the story of his death was not @ fabrication unt ‘they had, to their horror, unexpectedly stumbled — over the ghastly corpse as they eagerly crowded one another throug the workshop door. When the ex- citement had somewhat subsided the body of the murderer was removed to a vault, and Coroner Har- court empanelled a jury, who, afver viewing the two dead bodies, rendered @ verdict that Emma Harring- ton had come to her death by wounds inficted py Garrett Roche, and that Garrett Roche had come to his death by wounds inflicted by himself while laboring under a tewiporary fit of insanity, Roche wae a widoy and leaves four little cluidren unprovided tor, two ol Whom are now stop- Ping 20 Brooklyn.

A literary Bone- mian wrote it up enthusiasticaily. A second author wrote a book on the subject. ‘The book ws out of print; so is the subject. Then came the mania for arsenic, limited mosy to women and supposed to improve the complexion, which might have been termed taking a complexion internally, ‘The arsenic man 1a 1s out of joint now; it was found less troublesome to get evamelied. Arsenic was not sure as to the de- veloping of the porcelam in appearauce. Enamel eftecis that desideraium, with more expense, to be sure, but with more certaluty also, Besides, enamel- ling 18 so easy, aud the process with arsenic is tedious.

Some people would insist, periaps, that the pailor ought to be considered as cadayerous; but in point of pallor there 13 no special uference between the cadaverous aud the inteliec- tua!, To be intellectually pallid it 13 only necessary to look and benave like a corpse under tae induence of au internal galvanic battery. So let the topic be dis: a wave of the hand, as Mr. Pecksnur 1 to dismiss the admiring and confiding Tom, or as Sairy Gamp dismissed a patient, having first made sure tuat the patient was dead. 4 les moutons, Diogenes 13 reputed to have saul to the muttons of the case. There is digiculty im collecting the statistics of the use of opium. Druggists are reticent for legal reasons; one is not compelled in law to erimi nate one’s self. Takers of the drug are reticent for personal reasons: one’s personal affairs are one’s personal aifairs, That the use of the articie is on the increase—aangerously so—is generally agreed, and for this 1: @ there are several reasons, In numerous cases the habit ts frst formed by means of its injudicious prescription on the part of the family physician. A dozen instances of this sort have perhaps come under the observation of every person of extensive acquaintance. Stimulants and parcotees are just now the hobbies of the fashion- able practitiouer. in the former case he beiuddies his patient, in the latier he sootnes; and bie iasiion- able practitioner seems to have a idea taal inepriety of some Kind is exceedingly recuperauve to we nervous system. Stimulants, wouics and nar. cotics, In fact, just now form the trinity of medical pracuce. If you are debilitated, Bour- bon, if feverish, sulphate of quinia. If nervous, morphia, I debilitated, feverisa and nervous ail at ouce then you take a diet of tue three in combina- ion; but by all means you take one of them if it causes the wortal coil tv be shuitiea off within the next twenty-lour hours. ‘The thing 1s done properly and by perscription, and, of course, the coroner 13 saus, fied with that, This cause—the Irequent aud rather random prescription of the opiate—is one of the Most prolife toriwalives of the habit. The cause is due, perlaps, to a very general prevalence of ner- Vous diseases among American men and to the face that morpliia is One of the easiest pailiatives that can be preserved. ‘The statistics of Bellevue Hos- pital exnibic yearly a iong catalogue of cases treated for the opium habit, and one or two in Which the consumption of laudanum has attained the maximum of a put a day—equal to sixteen ounces of the purpie liquid, Nuwerous cases in which the patient bas been addicted w a gill a day are recorded at Bellevue, though the cases at bellevue form really only a email percentage of tue aggregate. There is, 10 fact, now resident In the Sixteenth ward, and buying ai a certain drug store on Sixth avenue, an old man of seventy, who for ten years has averaged fifteen grains of morphia per day, aud fas been an opium eater for twenty-five years. Asea captain by profession, and in early years engaged in tie Kast Indian trade, this gentleman contracted the labit, to begin with, by tasting raw opium, aud now takes a quauuty equal to thirty doses per day for @ Lealshy adult without apparent inconvenience. Of course tue old man Will drop oif and be pigeonhoied, after the manner of tue last sad pigeonnoling of huwanity, one of these days, and, of course, the verdict of the coroner will be—died of oid age; for 1! can hardly be said, iu this case, that Opium has very greaty shortened the old man’s days, if, imdeed, the drug may be accused of having cut him oi of any. Another case worth mention in the Ninth ward ts that of a washerwoman who for ten years has been in she habit of scrubbing out a certain drug store for an allowauce of an ounce of laudanum a day; thus for ten years taking value received for services in the shape of the liquified papaver. She is a thin, wiry, watery-eyed, attenuated old woman, with ail the appearance of having been eubsected to @ process of desiccation, and looks what sue ls, an opium habitus of the first water, A third case worth mention is one directly tracea- ble to medical prescription. In this case morphia was prescribed for nervousness—the patient speedily developing the mania to tweive grains per day. An effort was made,to substitute brandy for opium, and the patient was kept In a state of deadly drunken- ness for days, but all to no purpose. Recovering from the brandy, the drag was again resorted to. At last arrangements were wade tor the removal of the poor creature to an asylum for the insane—the examining physician of the asylum protesting, how- ever, that the patient wouid die if the use of the drag were to be cut oi!, and in the course of a delay of three weeks the decease occurred from an at- tempted reduction of the dose. wozens of these iustances in which the formation of the habit has been due to injudicious prescriptions might be men- uoned—though generally te certificate of the attend- ing physician has secured a burjal without inquest, aud irieuds, tue work having been done and veing undoable, pave been willing to keep the matter quiet. 1118 but just to remark, however, that tueir occurrence has had the effect to render the profes- sion more cautious; aud thus the poor paticnts have died in @ manner vicariously, their deauh serv- img to induce caution in other cases, ihe habit once formed there ts no“difMficulty in pro- curing the drug even without prescription or medi- cal order. Tuere 18 scarcely @ drug store in this city Which has not its score or two of opium customers; and some of them sell more without a prescription or order than with either. The argument is, the law is absurd; the customer can find enough ply- siclans wil.ing to write an order for a small fee; if, thereiore, it is not given without order it id only putting the habitus to extra trouble; the conclusion being that the selier is only legaily and not morally culpable. if a man wishes to commit suicide with morphia,”’ argues the druggist, “my withhoiding the drug tli he brings an order wil not prevent it; and besides, should i w' d he will probably procure it elsewhere, whero the statute 1s less stringenuly observed.” ‘This 18 the reasoning of the veuder tm point of substance, and it cannot be denied that it hag some plausibility about it, though, plausivie or otherwise, the fact remains, that there is not a drug store in this city where a custumer canuot procure the drug by asking for it, In fact, the druggists are not more than one in four on the average who wili not vend to a total stranger (without medieal order) as svon fas they will to a regular customer of the store, In the majority of cases even the name and residence of the buying party are not registered, and in many cases it 1s not even navitual with the druggist to label the bottle containing the laudanum other tian with the word “vowon,” the name of the firm and the detaition of the drug being omitted for pruden tal reasons. If morpiia is called for itis pat up veloped in @ plain envelope, with the simple r ry, “You know what this is, of course ¢” aud provided there is nothing to crimiuate the druggist on envelope or Vial, you may commit suicide tity tunes if you like, and no business of his, ‘The trath is the statute limitation ag gto the sale paracions of opium is tacitly abrogated every- and, a’ the quack nostrum plirase runs, by ail respectable druggists. New York is a commer- cial city, rents are high, and the poor pharmaceutist, as he siyies himself, cannot afford to lose wade by being eccentrically over-conscientious, The credit of being less careless in their vending tian their brethren in the trade must be awarded to Ger- man apothecaries to general, but even they have in a measure caught the American spirit, aud sei when and to whom they can. Occasionally aa accident happens, and the trade is cautious and rigidly re. fuses until the sensation bas subsided. Then mat- ters move on in their old tenor, and trad Mitelt trade in the deadiy drug—is resumed with more easiness of conscience than ever, The accusation may be broadly mad ‘The druggists of the city of New as little attention to the statute— tious In vending as they would be if no statute existed. Practically, the law, both to order and as to registry of name and address, dead letter; and, in the Majority of cases, per- haps the vender would prefer not to have your ad- Gress at all. Then, with no labei but that of “Poison,” With name of firm omitted, with no name and address answering to you registered, if an accident happens the druggist is sale, and can taugh in Lis sleeve at the Coroner and his investigations. An American medical journalist, discoursing upon the subject, separates opium takers into four classes. Those who have formed the habit by taking the Ca d upon prescription form the first class. A secon: class is made up of those who have dipped into the matter practically, simply for experiment’s sake, and Jave found, having indulged a few weeks, that they are the prisoners of a seductive but tyrannical devi. The third class consists of a diferent set, and is composed of those Who have Letaken themseives to the ablt to deade¢p dinappoutiment or otuer de- ressing passion.

CREAMER COTERIE. Annual Festival and Picnic. The annual picnic and festival of the Creamer Coterie was eld last evening at Union Park, Sixty- third strest and East river. The organization is named aiter Senator Creamer, and is comprised, at any rate mainly, of residents of the Seventeenth ward. The festival commenced shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon, and though the attendance at that time was somewhat slim, the members, their friends and the gnests, from that hour continued to arrive mm such numbers that at nine o'clock the park was quite filled with the happy gathering. A very excellent band was in attendange, and Ganciug was of course the ehief amusement. The Platform was crowded with the happy devotees of Terpaichore, and a programme of thirty-four dancea having been provided and circulated among the company it may easily be imagined that the fun was not only furious but fast. The only drawback to the dancing was the comparatively small number of ladies who were present; this preponderance of the male element showing itself in the somewhat un- pleasant sight of numbers of gentimen dancing with inale partners. While the young people were en- gaged io pursuit of the “light fantastic’ the ekler persons present amused themselves by taking seats and watching from a distance the whirling, happy throng upon the platform, or in discussing people and Wings over the ee fon The political section of the gentlemen ranged themselves around the bar and ioudiy taiked politics, offer! in voices high enough to be heard to k their opinionug by the contents of their pocketbooks. Whateyer the peculiar manner in which the members of the gathering sought amuse- ment all alike seemed to oe enjoying themselves to the iui. Atter ten o'clock some of the men present Seemed to Lave solar forgotten themselves as to have indulged too freely in strong drinks and their presence caused some littie trouble to the persons present. ‘This misfortune could not be charged to the comimitteee of management, as they did not pro- vide anything which couid lead to anyth like a sign of intoxication. Late in the evening there was a littie ‘shoulder hitting,” but those who attempted anything in this Way were soon quieted and driven off trom the neighborhood of the dancing platform.

Hamburg; Mer- ly Foint and Rich- Shipping Note It was a matter of expressed surprise to the many who were Present yesterday morning at the raising of Banker's beauti- ful yacht Rambler, by the central one of the screw docks near the foot of Market slip, that her bottom should be in such a condition as to require the atripping off of the copper sheathing which was put on her but three months ago. Tt certainly should have been in wear at least three years, Upon close examination it appeared in many places as if eaten away, and so it was Wecided to take it off and order another suit, It isto be hoped that the new one will prove good, for it is of primary importance that the bottom of a racing vessel should be in perfect condition. Perhaps the misfortune of the Rambler in her late contest with the Magic may justly be attributed to the roughness and poor quality of her sheathing, ‘The use of yel- low metal {s fast superseding that of copper, and experiences like thatreiated above give impulse to the new disposition onthe part of shipowners, Since the rebellion the govern- ment has almost invariably called for yellow metal sheath- ing in their contract advertisements. ‘The case of the recent- ly arrived North German ship Helene, Captain Raschen, may be quoted in thi connection, which vessel was metalled in February, 1866, in this city, and kept the sheathing in wear until April of this year, when it was ordered off by the underwriters of Liverpool, not from any dermerit of its own, but becanse the ship needed calking. The captain ex- presses the opinion that the metal could easily be worn an- other year. The tugboat John Fuller was lowered yesterday morning from the central screw dock, making way for the Rambler. She had her yellow metal sheathing patched. The bark John Earey, 885 tons, built in Spain, but owned here by Messrs Bartram Brothers, was lowered yesterday afternoon from the balance dry dock foot of Peck slip, alter having her copper sheathing patched with yellow metal. The schooner $ B- Nichols was lowered from Fogarty & Co.'s sectional dry dock at Red Hook on Monday afternoon, after undergoing extensive repairs, The schooner Julia D, 94 tons, built in Hopewell in 1865, ‘and belonging to St Johns, after having her bottom, calked was lowered from the above dock the same day. The schooner Welcome R Bebee, 406 tona, built in Belleville, N J, in 1860, and owned in Jersey City, is now on the above dock for repairs. The schooner Constitution. 299 tons, built in Glenwood in 1862, and belonging to Jonas Smith & Co., of this city, ison the People’s dry dock, foot of Gouverneur street for examination. She is to have her bottom painted. ‘The schooner Champion is on tke Nelson & Townsend dry dock, adjoining the above. She ib to be painted. Ap at tempt was made to raise her on Monday efiernoon, but the swell occasioned by a passing Sound steamer—the D R Mar- Uin-—caused the dock to surge, and the schooner slipped off the keel blocks, doing but little damage to her, however. ‘The barge Insurance was lowered yesterday afternoon from the sectional dry dock at the foot of Ciinton street, and followed by the schourer Delmont Locke, which will have her shoe repaired. The steamer George Washington {s on the great sectionay dry dock near the foot of Rutgers slip, amd the steamer Ash- land {son the mammoth dry dock at Hoboken, Both are being painted. The schooner Franklin Bell, 155 tons, is on Dean's railway, Red Hook, painting bottom and other repairs; also schooner Mary Jane, 145 tons, caulking and painting bottom. Marive Disasters.
