MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN BOSTON, Sad Results of a Mocual Feeling of Admira- tion=Love and Laudanuct—Arrest of a Husband and a Wife who were Nelghbors. Boston, Mass., Sept. 30, 1869, ‘Tbe Factory street portion of the Highlands dis- trict in this city is in a high state of excitement over anumberof mysterious deaths which occurred re- cently, and that excitement reached @ culminating Point last night in consequence of the arrest of cor- tain parties, The circumstances of the case indicate that tt {8 one in which tlicit love and laudanum have taken @ prominent part. Daniel Harrington, over fifty years of age, and Mra, Ellen Dunphy, about thirty years of age, have lived as neighbors, with their respective partners tn life, for some years, The wife of Harrington was sister to Mr. Dumphy, and “thereby hangs a tale.” It seems that about a month ago the wife of Harring- ton suddenly died. Two weeks after a little child of Harrington's died in a similar manner; and on Monday last the husband of Mrs. Dumphy “kicked the bucket.” Of course these sudden deaths dia not fail to attract the atvention of the neighbors. Mr. Dumphy was ill only an hour or two, and this gave additional reason for surmising that there was something wrong in the families, 1t had been noised about previously that a mutaal feeling of admiration existed between Mr Harringcon and Mrs, Dumphy, and therefore the police took it mw their heads to Investigate the cause of the sudden deaths. Warrants for the arrest of the above par- Ues were obtained; and yesterday afternoon, while the funeral service was proceeding at the house of Mrs, Dumpby, two constables appeared on the prem- ises and arrésted the chief mourner, ana, carrying her of, placed her tn “‘durance vile,” and ordered a postponement of the super |, The astonished ffi aH of tho late lamented did not at first divine the object of the strange conduct of the officers, but when it was discovered that the dead body of Mr. Dumphy was conveyed to the Almshouse for an autopsy the friends, some of them, began to taik about love and lauda- num. Nor did the arresting business stop here. Harrington, one of the supposed pariners in crime, which seems to have been conceived and executed for tho purpose of getting rid of each other's husband and wife, that they might marry each other, thus avoiding all the bother of a divorce, was also arrested at hig house, and, like Mra. he will remain incarcerated until he ‘raigned to answer such charges a8 may be preferred against him after the Coroner's inquest is concluded. ‘Ihe principal story told by the neighbors of the deceased is that Mra. Vumphy had, made purchases of poison and was privy to the deaths of the several porsons mentioned, although itis stated that Mr. Dumphy was an intemperate’ man. While shovelling coal Mr. Dumphy was at- tacked with the sickness which finally killed him, ARMY INTELLIGENCE, The superintendent of the mounted reoruiting ser- vice at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., has been ordered to forward without delay all_ the colored troops at bis disposal at that station to Galveston, Texas, WAVAL INTELLIGENCE, The Navy Department has promulgated tn general orders the result of the Naval General Court Marttal, convened at the Washington Navy Yard, August 10, for the trial of Passed Assistant Surgeon Charles L. Green on the following charges, viz.:— First—Treating with contemot his superior officer while in the execution of bis office, in dissenting, while on board the United States steamer Nipsic at are from an order to take a seaman off the sick list. Second—Disobeying @ lawful order of his superior oficer in thus retusing obedience, Thwd-—Conduct unbecoming an officer, the speci- fications being tnat he was intoxicated and behaved ina Manner unLecoming an oiicer in the town of Aspinwall. The Court found the accused guilty of the first two charges and spectiications, but not of the third, and sentenced him to be suspended from rank on furlough pay for the term of two yeara, and to be publicly reprimanded by the Hon. Secretary of the Navy, the order reprimanding him to be read to the officers and men of cach naval station and ves- sel in commission, On examination of the evidence Secretary Kobeson approved the finding the Court, adding:— ‘The sentence of the court is not unsuited to the offence of which the accused was found guilty. Disobedience of orders is under any circumstance a serious offence, and when com: mitted deliberately by an tntelligent officer, under a clatm of right, must tend greatly to the subversion'of ail discipline, Tam’ tnelined to think, however, from the evidence, that the Aisobedience complained of in this case was the result of a v of judgment in pogard to rotessional Fights and rather than of @ deliberate initention of Wrolg. Mis takos of this kind rarely require a severe, and never a dis- graceful punishment, and the, previous good character and conduct of Mr. Green entitle him to the benefit of whatever doubt there may be on this subject, and to the consideration Of the reviewing authority. The sentence of suspension from rank on furlough pay for the term of two years, 13, therefore remitted, aud this order fs published. asthe repri= mand provided for in the sentence, and it will be read ac- cordingly. This case has excited considerable attention in naval and other circles, owing to the fact of its being the first case of that character that has ever occurred; and also because of the pecullar circumstances o: the case, which copsisted, according to the general order, of the refusal of Mr. Green to obey an order to discharge from the sick list of the Nipsic one of her seamen under his medical attendance, his rea- son being that Le could not conscientiously obey the order. The tollowing additional were admitted to the Naval Academy on Wednesday:—Wiiliam A, Abbott, of Pennsylvania; David Peacock, of New Jersey; John B. Nichols, of New York; William Gunolick, of Illinois; James 8. Negiey, of Pennsylvania; George B.

In 1856 he was clected Grand Sachem of the Society, holding that position until his unfortunate defalca- tion became known,:and he was forced to seek safety in fight, Ho was regarded aa the leaagr of the Tam- many branch of the metropolitan demodracy, and there no doubt phat at one period the ower he held {f political circlés was great, There was no State or national convention that be was not a mem ber of, and a | ie on participator in tne intrigues and wire-pullings which made Presidents and Con- greasmen and Governors. It was @ somewhat sin- gular fact, too, that notwithstanding his influence, Mr. Fowler was never the nominee of his party for any ofice of importance, to which he could have been readily elected in a city like this, with her large democratic majority. The only oilce of consequence which Mr. Fowler ever held was one by appointment, and that proved his bane, and gave him a notoriety which destroyed his prospects for life. In 1463 President Pierce appointed him postmaster of the city ot New York. Upon Mr. Buchanan’s accession to the presidency he was retained in office. Whether in 1855 there was any deficit in bis accounts it ts impossible to positively determine, His official returns to October, 1858, showed a clear — balance-sheet, with not the slightest evidence of trregularities about them. It has been asserted, however, that when Pterce’s term expired he was in arrear some $80,000 or $40,000. But, be that as it may, it ig undeniably true that from October, 1858, to May, 1860, the autuorittes at Washingion were fully aware of a deficieucy existing In his accounts. Why an investigation was not ordered and made when the fact Was first learned, has also never been told, But on tie 12th of May, 1860, Mr. Fowler learned that orders had been issued for his removal from office, and for an agent of the government to take possession of the Post OMce. For days before he had been making desperate efforts to raise a sum. ciency of funds with which to conceal his defalcation, and without ayatl., It 13 related of him that he wandered over the streets of New York unul day- light of the morning of the 14th, when he visited the Post OiMce and found another tn possession. On that day @ warrant was tssued for his arrest. He learned of his impending danger and fled from justice. After years passed in exile he re- turned to bis native land some two years ago, the government having abandoned the criminal prose- cution against him. He came back, meeting many friends, who believed him to be the victim of design- ing politicians, and whose faith in him had never faltered. It may be well here to state that his defal- cation amounted to $155,000, which proved a total loss to the United States, Efforts were made to re- cover it pce) of this sum from his suretics, George Law and Gustavus A. Conover, but the government Was beaten on the ground that the authorities had been aware of the deficiency months before it was made public, and, not having prosecuted then, had become a party to the crime. thus saving the sureties harm- less of responsibility. Whether the money went to defray election expenses, as was asserted by soine, or Was used in speculation on patents and other things, as was affirmed by others, is a mooted ques- tion. It seems probable, though, that both com- bined to produce the deficiency. Upon his return to the United States Mr. Fowler went to Chicago, where he was residing at the time of his deatn, His career, looked upon in the light of moral lesson, is full of mouruful reflections. We shall not, however, degcant upon his weakness or criminality in the case which made him notort- ous. He 1s dead; it ts best to let his faults and we memory of them, if possible, die with him. AMUSEMENTS. CaRLOITA PaTT!.—The fourth and last of the first series of Patth concerts was given last evening at Steinway Hail, As largo, cultivated and fashionable an dudience was preseni as at the previous concerts, and the wild bursts of enthusiasm greeting her sing- ing were as earnest, unrestrained and impassioned as on her first appearance lass Saturday evening. Such overwhelming plaudits from such a refined and appreciative assemblage rarely are heard, and such an ovation of flowers is rarely poured at the feet of our divinist artists, Aside from Carlotta Patti's singing—tho great attractive feature, of course, of these concerts—the programme presented @ bill of musical entertainment of unexceptionabie merit and pleasing wariety such as is rarely furnished at any concerts in our city. Leading of the pro- gramme was the overture “Muette de Portici,” by Auber, which was most effectively exe- cuted by the orchestra, Singing “The Stranger of Fesco,”’ by Herr Habelmann followed, a beauti- ful melody, and sung with his accustomed artistic skill and feeling. This was succeeded by “Mi Concerto, orchestra and violin, Mendelssohn,” F, J. Prame playing the violin, He has a fine and artistic touch, and though not @ Paganini of the past or Ole Buil or the present, ia following closely on their tracks in the upward path of fame. And bow came Mile, Patt, for whose appearance, not- withstanding the rare preliminary musical treat, the audience couid hardly restrain its impatience. Sho sang “Canzona,” from Mattel. Her clear, birdlike tones and exquisite trills do not show themselves with more marvellous power—a power unapproach- able except by her sister Adaiiua—in any of her songs. It is unnecessary to dwell on the astonishing skill of her execation and rapidity of transition from the lower to the higher notes, such as would seem to be beyona the possible reach of the human vot Bhe maintained her reputauion, which is gaylog all that need orcan be said. ‘To the showerng gilts of Nowers and flatvering plaudits she nad, of course, to respond by an encore, as likewise after the ‘“Paran- litte” of Bevignant, ‘sung afterwards, The duet, “Elisir d’Amore,”’ of Rossini, sung with Signor Kon- coni, Was perfectly spiendid. Eacn time of singing only aroused anew the pent-up enthusiasm, fier singing was an indescribable treat to the audience, and the enthusiasm it engendered a brilliant tribuie to her superb genius. Signor Konconi sang mag- nificently, Mr. Ritter, by bis masterly playing en the piano, excited increased estimation of his merits as an artist, All the artists were encored—the highest measure of praise that can be accoraed the:n. There will be a matin¢ée concert to-morrow. The second seiies will consist of only two concerts, which wil be givea next Wednesday and Thursday evenings. ENGLISH OPERA IN BROOKLYN.—Anber's charm- ing opera “Fra Diavolo,” was played for the first time by the Parepa-Rosa troupe in the Brooklyn Academy last night, with the addition of the second act of “Martha.” By this combmation the Brook- lynites had an opportunity of hearing on the same evening all the leading strength of this excellent trou pe—Parepa-Rosa, Castle, Campbell, Miss Hersee, Mr. and Mrs. Seevin, The house was very well filled by the usual select audience which Brookiyn provides for anything that has any mertt in it, Miss Hersee made a decidea impression as Zerlina. Her charming acting in the bedchamber scene atiracted general admiration, and made up a good deat for the extreme delicacy of her voice, which evidoatly was not quite equal to the compass of this immense building. Mr. Nord- biom as “Fra Diavolo’ was quite acceptable, although he ts better ta the “Bohemian Girl.” The serenade “Young Agnes," however, was delight- tully sung, Campbell and Hall as the two robbers were of course inimitable. It ws unnecessary to say that Rosa as Martha, in the preliminary portion of the performance, was a# fue as over, and was adorably supported by Mrs. Seguin and Messrs. Castie and Campbell, THE BAST RIVER BRWwWOo. Moeting of the Directors in Brooklyn Yose “terday, The Board of Directors of the New York and Brook- lyn Bridge Company met yesterday afternoon at the office of the Brooklyn Gas Company, the premdent, Mr. Henry ©. Murphy, im tho cnair, Mr. Murphy stated the object of the meoting, which was more especially to give tho Executive Committeo the power to go on wit the work. Tho engineers were allready with their specifications and plans, Mr. Hasted, Chatrman of the Executive Com- mitteo, said that since the last meeting of the Board the committee had had several mectings, and had examined all the plans with reference to the build- ing of the tower on this side of the river. Not hav- ing the power to go on, they desired the passage of the following resolution :— Resolved, That the Executive Committee be authorized to have the foundation of the tower on the Brooklyn aide con- structed to a potat three feet above high water nfark. The object of thia resolution, Mr. Husted stated, was to enable them to go on with the tower and bring it up to the point required. They thought good progress might be made with the work this fall. Mr. MARSHALL inquired if the committee had decided to have tho work done by contract or keep control of it thenselves. Mr, Husrep said that the enginoer was of the opinion that they had better keep coutrol of the work as It was of @ peculiar kind, they having 60 go down some filty or sixty feet under water, ‘The pians of the engineera were stated to bo the game as thoae agreed upon by the elder Mr. Roebilng before his death, and after some further remarks the resolution Was adoptgd and the Board adiourugd, L ‘TEE AOSTON TROT, | Poot Selling Last Nigue. ‘goles in the trot to take place to-day at Bostom Wer «cia iag# night at Riley’s, corner of Twenty- ignih cor and Brosdway.
