The House then, at a quarter past two o'clock, proceeded to the consideration of tie bill authoriz- lug the retunding and consolidation of the national debt, and lor other purposes, On mutton of Mr. SCHENCK, (rep.) of Ohio, a verbal amendment was made, striking out at the end of section four the words, “at any time before the end ot the notice provided for in the sucond secuon of this act.” Mr. SCHENCK sald that if the depate had not been limited to discussion ander the flye minute rule he would giad'y have availed himself of an opportunity to express his own Views and the views of the com- mittee on the bili, but the waning hours of the ses- sion and the heat of the weather, and, still more, the attention which had been given the subject of the public debt aud the public credit, Satistied him that the House bad done a wise tuing in limiting debate toamere b 38 discussion under the iive min- ute rule, He unquestionably believed, and his faith grew slronger every day, that the United States had reached that point in reference to its great resources, lis great neaus wud Its credit before the world that authorized the government to go into the markets of the world and offer 1ts four per cents at par. Mr, BLAIR, (Cep.) of Mich., moyed to amend the first section by inserting the words—*fhe amount of interest specified tn each coupon shall be expressed rs and the equivalent thereof in English ey and fn franca.” Mr. » (vep.) Of N. ¥., moved to amend the amendment by adding a proviso iat the Se retary of the Treasury shall huve power, in his discretion, tO ake the interest or Coupons, ona part oi the bonds, hot exceeding Ove hundred millions, payabie iuady forcigu country, a3 he may deew advisabie. (Murmurs 0! disapproval.) Mr. BLAIR argued 1u advocacy of his proposition, showing (he ativaulages that Would result from 16 in inducing foreigo investment in the loan, Mr. Woop, (dein.) Of N. Y., Was opposed to the bill because—frst, alunough it was a great Improvement on the funding scheme recommended by the Secre- tary of tye Treasury and of the bill passed by the Senate, he saw dauger in disturbing the bonded debt af now existing, The bonds outstanding formed the basis of the monetary transactions of the country, and in alicring its character Congress would aflect snjuriously and disturb the business in- teresis and te stability of wade, Second—Because it was linprobable that the proposed loan of a thou- Sind milions could be negotiated, at four per cent; and a faliure to do ao, alter. making the eflort, would react against the credit o. the government. Tlird—But if 1t could be negouated at ali it would be ouly in Europe, where a lower rate of interest prevails, and tiis Would in- yoive the humiliating necessity of this government becomlug an applicant to foreign capitalists tor pe- cuniary favor, Fourth—Because, af thus negotiated, it would take out of the country forty millions a year as interest to be paid abroad, where it would be expended for the advantage of other peo- pe; whereas, if the devt were held in the Unitei States, it8, interest. would be paid at home, and thus assiss im the development of domesiic industries and in the mbiliy of Lhe people to bear its burdens, Fifth—A foreign debt is # curse to any country, Better to bear tue dent ab home, -even at a higher rate of interest, until the debi is reduced to @ more endurable vot. ume, Lat to Mortgage the Country to those whose projadices ana sympathies are ho-ule to American. prosperity aud national success, and who, in a mo- ment of trouble between the United States and other nations, Would tuke advantage oi the necessities of tie United Sites to laperil thelr security. Mr. BUTLER, (rep.) Of Mass., opposed the amend- ment of Mr, blur, and suggested the dimculty that might present itself in England, ratsing the Vaiub of (he pound sterling, or in Frauce, debasing her trance, as she bad done many a time before. He did hot de: the bonds of the United States to ve held abroad, That was the great danger of the fsundiny system, The United States governpient had now twelve hundred mifions of its bonds held abroad, besides $800,000,000 of State, county, clty and corporate bonds 80. that this country was drained annually of $120,000,000, repeating on # large scaie the evil of irish ubsentecism. He therefore did not desire to have any imducemeat held out to have the debt taken abroad, Mr. Brooks, (dem.) of N. Y., contested tne views expressed by his colleague (Mr. Wood), whose first objection was that it disturbed the bonded debt as now existing. For his part he wanted to see it die turbed, The government lad "been paying five, six, seven and elght-per cent int , and he wanted that species of distur! which would reduce, it to four per cent. As to the second objection made by Mr. Wool, that 1¢ was impossible to sell United Stats four per cent bonds abroad, he dented thatit was either impossible or amy ble. AB. to the objec tion agains’ the eg held abroad, he re- miuded his ponent Y greater partof the bonded debt of 1 gorse lent was now held abroad and was likely to be, and this bill would not change that fact. He replied to other objections, amd advocated the bill. Mr. KELLEY, rep.) of Pa., opposed the amend- ment offered by Mr. Blair. The policy ol expressing amounts in the language or money of foreign coun- tries ‘ht do very well for adventnrous railroad corporations, but would be unbecoming in a great nation. Mr. Jupp, (rep.) of Ilt., remarked thatthe principal feature of the first section of the bi was that it was thoroughly American, There was no word or syl- lable in tt indicating that the government sought a foreign joan. He argued that ihe proposition made by Mr. Blair was unnecessary, bondholders pur- chased through brokers, who Were perfectly familiar wiih the relative value of an American dollar. Mr, SCHENCK argued that Mr. Binir’s amendment Was hunecenaAiny, Bs the bonds and coupons were payable at the Treasury of the United Stat As to the argument that a lonr percent issue would fafl in tlils country because the people paid eight and ten per cent Interest, he said that the reason they had to pay 80 much was because the government paid such high interest. When the government re- daced f's rate of interest the general rates of interest Mr, OvBURN, (rep.) Of Ind,, remarked that the practical question was, Where could the government get money the cheapest’ Here ten per cent was a common rate of interest, but in Europe it was much lower, If European capltatiats took these bonds at four per cent he would say, amen! let them have them. Why not pay interest to a European as weil as to an American’ Was a dollar a greater loss wien paid to a European than it was when paid to an Aniericany What was the alternative? If the uw! ninent did not, borrow money in Europe where would it borrow ity Jf here, then withdrew one thousand millions — from the imausiry of the country, He preferred Wat tg any shod be obsmimed in Envana tastead of cobveliing’ Americal’ into money lenders, sharks 2d Jews, a a the American peopie to use that io builds ye, Inflls, byidges, roads and Foitrogah, aha i thie: ne falls, the itl to be prac- Ucal the bond should be put ina shape In which money could be got cheap. He therefore favored the amendment ogcred by Mr, Blair. The amendments offered by Messrs, Blair and Davisjwere rejected, Mr. MaYueM, (dem,) of N. Y., moved to strike from the first section that clause which exempts the bouds and coupons from all taxation, aud spoke in support of it, Mr. SWANN, (dem.,) of Md,, addressed the House in advocacy of the bill, Mr. MAYHEM withdrew his amendment. Mr. Woopwarp, (dem.) of Pa., revewed It and argued that Congress had no right to divest itself of its power over taxation, This Congress could not bind or restrain any future Congress Lrom exercis- ing that power, Mr, BINGHAM, (rep,) of Ohio, opposed the amend- ment and denied the correctness of the legal posl- ton taken by Mr. Woodward. eat HoLMay, (deur) of lnd., sustained the amend- ent Mr. Brooxs, of N. Y., opposed it, and appealed to his democratic colleagues not to place theinselves in an impracticable position and not to put ob-tacles in the way of @ measure which would reduce by oue- third the amount of interest which the government had now to pay. Mr. BUTLEK, Of Mass., argued that while the five- twenty ponds were liable to feaeral taxation, Con- could declare these four per cent bonds exempt m all taxation. That would not be actually re- eving them from taxation, but would be merely discouuting the taxation in advance, Mr. WoopWARD maintained the correctness of his bya ie position, and argued to prove that fact Mr. HOLMAN was willing to have the bonds a clared exempt from Siate taxation, but was unw! ling, as he belteved the people were, to allow Con- gress to divest itsel( of the right of taxation. Tue amendment striking out the clause exempting the bonds from taxation was rejected by @ large ma- jority, the yeas and nays me deg Mr. INGERSO! (rep.) of lil, moved an amend- ment to make the bonds and coupons payable in lawfal money instead of in coin, which was reacted, Mr, MARSHALL, (dem.) of l1l,, Moved to make the bonds redeemable afver twenty instead of after vairty: "bao which was rejected. Mr. CosuRN moved to make the bonds fifty year pa pene was Mr. Van Trump, (dem.) of Ohio, moved to make them thousand year bonds, which was cled. Mr. HOLMAN moved an amendment prohibiting the employment of agents in the United States or else- where, which was rejected, Benes further amendments were offered to tne first OD. he second section was then read for amend- ments. Mr. Woop offered an amendment prohibiting the payment of any commission or brokerage for tho sale, exchange or transfer of any of these bonds. Mr. SCHENCK said that there was nothing in the bul whieh would authorize the payment of any pro! Mr. KANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., supported the amend- ment, and agreed that 1t was @ necessary and proper one. Mr. ALLISON, (rep.) of Towa, opposed the amend- ment, He thought it wou'd be very dificult indeed to negotiate a four per cen loan while the six per cent bonds were not yet at par. He therefore favored leaving with the Secretary of the Treasury a large ‘amount of discretion in the matter, The ameudment was re)ected—yeas 56, hays 104. ‘The foliowing committees of confereuce were an- nounced :— On the Indian Appropriation bill—Messrs. Sar- gent, Beck and Clarke, of Kansas. On the National Currency bill—Messrs. Judd, Packer and Knott. ‘The House then, at forty-five minutes past four O'clock, adjourned. NEW YORK ATHLE(IIC CLUB. Grand Reception at Their New Floating Boat House at Harlem—An Evening of Most Picasant Festivities. Much of eloquent description has been expended upon those floating palaces our splendid oceanic steamships and the superbly adorned steamers plying the Hudson river and the Bound, but the floating boathouse of the New York Athletic Club, which bas just been completed and on which the members of the club gave @ grand reception last evening at its present moorings on the Harlem river, at the foot of 131st street stands far ahead of anything of the floating line of this peculiar character. Last evening it was gorgeously decked with American flags and with the other interior appointments of its own beautiful fag and small boats and Chinese lanterns presented a fine and animated appearance. ‘The only difficulty was the swarming mob of invited guests filling the club house to uncomfortable repletion. Among the guests were members of the Nassau, Columbia, Argonaut, AUanta, Gulick and Atlantic boat. clubs; anf ‘conspicuous among the other ests were J, 8. Mott, of Hott Haven, and Mr. V. wainen, of the Great San Francisco and China Tea House, Clatin & Co. It would take a good deal of time and space to de- scribe the pleasant festivities. The 160 members of the club, nearly all of whom were pre- sent, did .their utmost to make the occasion a pleasant one. If was proposed to have some scnll races, but these were omlited, though a Doat’s crew of the members gave an exhibition of their skill at the oar, which elicited the most unbounded encomtuins, An amusing ay well as an exciting feature was a test race in witich the percents were Frank Henry, J. C. Babcock, H, A. Helnes and Geore Tappen. All were sub- merged. Frank Henry was the only one accomplish- ing the prescribed distance without belug upset in the water. There was an immense throng of spectators who witnessed with delight the rt, Concluding the festiviries was a collation, at which the daintiest of viands ana choicest of wines were eaten and drank to the most exhillarat- ing patriolic airs by a band of music, ‘be New York Athletic Ciub has been in existence only about a year. It has a gymnasium at No, 20 St. Mark’s place, and has only lately added boating to its line of athletic exercises, The members are ail hardy young men, and promise to give high character and dignity as well as renown to the manly exercise of boseing.

MATILDA HERON AND THE BOGUS PRINCESS, To TH& EDITOR OF THE HERALD: After reading a lettersigned “Cousin George,” in Wednesday's Heratp, I determined, for the first time, to tax the leniency of that world-renowned paper and use the “Voice of the People,’’ not in my own behalf, but in the cause of one for whom I have the greatest respect and admiration. |The idea that Matlida Heron's (or, more correctly, Mme. Robert Stoepel’s) testimony could, under any circum- stances, ‘have but little weight’ | must refute, as, knowing that lady as intimately as 1 do, I cannot in justice to my own knowledge of her attributes allow others to hint even at such @ possibility. With truth as the corner stone Mune. Stocpel’s character soars benutifW and pure above all insinuations of stran- gers, and, surrounded, as she is, by the heartfelt love of her acquaintances she can well afford to smile at the misconstructions of those who know her not, In her evidence regarding the so-called Princess Editha she confined herself to facts, That strange being was left sick and an object of charity at the house where Mme. Stoepel boarded, who, with her proverbial generosity, nursed and aided her all in her power, ‘and was told a simple tale of sorrow which she fully believed. After Miss Claudia (as she was then calied) recovered and left, Mme. Stoepel heard of her under three <ilfferent names, and last, but not least, ag “Lola Montez’ daughter.” When sent for during her escapade at the Astor House, under the above character, what was Mme. Stoepel’s course? To save the woman from the Tombs, and fully con- curring with the phyeician’s opinion that she was Insane, she offered to pay her expenses at an asy- lum, and took her to one for that pyrpose, with what result every one who readsthe HERALD kbows, Simply through ber humane treatment of a feliow crealivé Mme.

This great national holiday is close upon us, and everywhere throughout the length and breadth of our country most active preparations are being made to give fitting glory and ¢clat to the day we celebrate. Nowhere, however, 13 1t more gener- ally or more enthusiastically observed than in this city, What with fring of national salutes, and marching of soldiers, and beating of drums and evoking shrieking melodies from ear-piercing fires; what with our national emblem, the unfading stripes and its undimmed = stars, proudly float- ing from housetops and windows and pal- conies and our shipping and public buildings; what witn extra performances at the theatres, and steamboat excursions and picnics; what with the pa- triotic but confusing clatter of pistol-fring and ex- plosions of fire crackers and torpedoes and gre- nades; what with the public pyrotechnic displays at the various parks in the evening and private pyro- technics from nearly every private house in the city, giving glorious splendor of dazzling and variegated lights to all the regions of the upper air; what with all this and very much more that might be added to give completeness to the picture, the coming Fourth of July promises to be a particularly busy day, and, altogetier, its celebration unwontedly animated and briilant. Chief of interest in all these, how- ever, and that giving greatest giory to the day, and to all classea, and pre-eminently to our juvenile pop- ulation, forming its most attractive feature, is the SUBJECT OF FIREWORKS, The is scarcely any specialty of modern manufac- ture in which the resources of human ingenuity have been more severely taxed to achieve pleas- ing, and, at the same time, wonderful and startling etlects, than in the manulacture of flreworks, Time was when national patriotism, finding its culminating expression on the auniversary of our national birth, was content with diminutive cannon, banging out “Yankee Doodic” and “Hall Columbia’? on n> bn Sigepy reer reading me: Declarauon of inde- dence, an aire jplunjpat Ww r barrels took a Cohsploudts pa ut ie ans anterior to the birth of Young America, an- terior to the railroad and telegraph aud steam press, anterior to the pregent age of brilliant inven- Uve genius, anterior to dazzling displays, extraordl- nary effects and sedulous siriy! mm everything after the ee rye sensational. verything now must be of the “great guns” order, not only the can- non themselves, but there must be big drum corps and big regiments and big orators, whose bold flights of oratory bear their hearers upward and up- ward till the latier, of feebler pinions, the attempt to follow them, become utterly bewildered and lost among the misty mazes of the far away cerulean regions and proud empyrean domain of the re- motest fixed stars and the highfalutin spouters of our modern flighty school, And is is not all. Keeping pace with this progres sive growth, this aspiring alter transcendent bewil- derment and amazing efects, is the pyrotechnic art; for art it is, one of the fine arts indeed, evoking ‘all the higher powers of inventive skill. Tar barrels are enough in their way, aud answer very weil to impart flery enthusiasm to political meetings, but for suck grand occasions as the Fourth of July, when every bosom burns with patriotic ardor, these tires are palely inetfectual to the wild whiz of madly leaplug rockets and magnificent constellations of fail- ing stars, and the mingling hues of the brightest rain- bow colors are stupid.y stale and abjectly fat to the grandly sonorous outburst of explodin bshells, whose fragments of glittering splendor fill the alr with their briiliantly meteoric showers, revealing every iptensilied shade and tint of the kaleidoscope, are nothing to the scintillating brightness of whiring wheels, nothing to the torturous Lwistings of flery serpents, novlung to those masterpleces of Ue pyro- technic art, emb azoned representations of histone revo.ntionary scenes, great batiues, storming forts, sinking ships and engulfing whole armies in mad- dened whirlpools of consuming fire, EXTENT OF THE MANUFACTURE. Everybody knows that the manufacture of fre- works 1s comparatively @ recent art, It is unnecessary to dweil on this point, It 1s true there was the *Greck fire,” which the old Greeks: hurled with such destructive effect upon the cities and fleets of their enemies, which at times must ae (Salers ns some srane Goersinen erg! at ight. But the present art in its perfegted state au having its origin sien ly ak debits Yo please ind startle, has no more relation to the invention of “Greck fire” and not haif as much as the Fourth of July to the Ides of March or the kalends of October. As the telegraph followed the printv.g press, sot ne art of pyroiechnics foi'swed the Fourth of July—that our ©.n special Fourth, our lorious arth, our Fourth a8 8 great and un dying institution. OF course 1) manufacture of Chinese crackers by the people the Celestial empire is doubtless very ancient; but up to thirty years ago the manufacture of fireworks in this country was very siight. The old fipg, of Wm, H. Perigo & Co., of No. 190 Front street, was one of the very first to embark ip thé business, and now their gales-are qmongy the | it in the city and exténd al] over the country. ‘Transient as the trade is—the sales forthe country beginning about the lst of May and those of the city nearly six week later, and neither coutinuing after the Fourth of July, except in timited quantities for political meetings and other like demonstra Uons--tt has now reached a large aggre- gate figure, einbracing in the manufacture immense capital and a large number of workmen. Malden lane 1s fall of the larger retailers, and there ts hardiy a fancy retail store in the city that does not in the season of the trade lay in a fuil assortment of these pyrotechnic products. Though our city is the great centre of manufacture and trade, there is scarcely a minor city that has not its special manufactory. Patriotism is a strongly detined characteristic of our people, and when, in giving expression to this hon- ored and noble feeling, amusement becomes a lead- ing element there is no resisting its fascinations, and the question of expense is the last’ one con- sidered, THE CHIEF MANUFACTORIRS, One of the largest manufactories in this country ts that of Mr. Hadfield, in East Williamsburg. The Messrs. Edge have also a large manufactory in Jer- sey City; but the specialty of this latter firm is ex- hibition pieces, in the successful manulacture of which they are without a rival, as 1s abundantly and conclusively shown in the splendid py- rotechnic exhioltions in our pubic parks given during the past few years under tieir direction. Another large manufactory is that of Mr, Lillendail, at Greenville, this State. The Messrs, Light have also a ride manufactory at East Wil- liamsburg, and so has Mr. Schaerfenberg at Brooklyn. From these manufactories are turnished the great bulk of the fireworks sold in the United States, “A look aronah any of these manufactories is at once curious an Se Beare 48 showing the won- derful chemical skill shown in the combinations of the various ingredients employed, the artistic com- mingling of colors and ingenious devices and forms; and pleasing, as revealing the almost sure harmiess- ness of the completed fabrics, It 1s vital to insure this iatter point, and hence, though some of the agenis employed are of the most desiructive of nature's forces, the utmost pains are taken to put such a check on these forces as to hold complete maastery over them. SOURCES OF DANGER. It is undeniable that with all the painstaking there are, however, sources of danger. The greatest dan- or is in the combinations used and reqaired in pro- Tsing. colored fires; but even here very rarely, except through culpable negligence, do accidents oceur. tly, however, & dangerous toy in the shape of @ new torpeao has made its appearance, ‘These torpedoes are of two Kinds, the smaller about a3 Jarge.ae hazelnuts, colored red and blue, and the larger enveloped in tin foil, The explosive ma- terial employed in both is the same, consisting of amorphous, phosphorus and chlorate of potash. They are too powerful for toys, the explosive power of each being equal to & musket charge of gunpowder, and in the hands of children, there- fore, endangering iife. Fortunately Superintendent Jourdan had his attention cailed to them, and the same, after @ chemical analysis having been pro- nounced by Dr. Morris, City Sanit Inspector, unsafe, their sale Las been prohibited by the Police Superintendent, Still another dangerous toy 1s one of the torpedo class representing a stick of candy, which, of course, coming into the hands of ignorant children they will attempt to bite In two, thus ren- dering themselves liable to acoident from its explo- sion. <A few daysago a case, it will be remembered, Was reported in the HERALD of alittle girl having one of her cheeks blown out by biting oue of these torpedoes. Happily Superintendant Jourdan ha had his attention called to this, and likewise has interdicted its further sale. As already stated, the reat buik of our manufactured flreworks are per- fectly harmless, though parents certainly cannot be too careful in seeing to it that only harm. jess ones are allowed their children, As for cases of spontaneous combustion, these are very arg, and with proper vigilance these will never happen.

The Assassin of Police Officer Smedick—Rea Before the Supreme Court—''The Mills of the Gods Grind Slowly’—The Cul. prit Doomed to Death-‘‘The 5th of August’’—Interview With the Prisoner. It ts an old proverb that the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fue,” and if over any man realized the force Of that quotation John Real, the: murderor of police, officer Smedick over two years ago, must be that man. After numerous delays and the exertion of powerful influ. ence in his behalf the law has siowly but very surely vindicated itself by adnering to tne original decree of death. Yesterday morning a very large andience assem- bied"In the Oyer and Terminer room, partly attracted by the Sheridan murder trial and partly py the im- pression that John Real was to be sentenced there, As s00n as Judge Barnard leit that room to take hia place with the other Judges in General Term room, the crowd poured into the latter room unull behing the railing it was densely packed. j ‘When the General Term was opened District At- torney Garvin called the attention of the Court ta the case of John Real. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus to produce him before the court, The writ was at once grantea. The Court meanwhile proceeded with other,business, announcing decisions and settling some formal matters. After a delay of some fifteen minutes Real was brought through the side door, and there was a brief moment of notse, while those on the rear benches rose to see what wad going on. The District Attorney then rose, and after briefly reciting the proceedings in the case presented the remittttur from the Court of Appeals, and asked that the Court would now proceed to fix a day for the exceution of the sentence, * Judge Ingraham then, amid the most intense silence, said:—“Real, stand up.” The prisoner stood up witha smile and Judge Ingraham passed sentence as follows: “You have been tried, found guilty of the crime of murder and sentenced to execution, You have had writs of error issued in your beha'f to this court and to the Court of Appeals, and in consequence thereof the time fixed for the execution of yours*ntence haa passed. Since that time the Court of Appeals have affirmed the judgment of conviction egiinst you, and have sent back the papers with directions ta proceed in the enforcement of the judgment. It be- comes out duty, therefore, under the statute, ta designate tlre day when the sentence of death here. tofore passed upon you shall be carried into effect. The Court have agreed upon Friday, the 5th day of August, 1870, as the day upon which that sentenc¢ shall be carried into eifect, and have directed a war rant to be issued to that effect.’? Real—“V. ry good, sir.’? The formal proceedings were then read by Mr. Sparks, the Deputy Clerk of the Oyer and Terminer, After which Real was remanded to the Tombs. During the whole proceedings Real preserved a stniling face, and seemed far less affected than hit counsel, Judge Stuart. As he was belng removed the crowd made a rush for the door, which wad almost instantly closed, and the prisoner was re- turned to bis cell in the prison. Subsequently @ HERALD reporter made a visit ta the Tombs, where Real is confined. It was after the sentence of the Court had been passed upon him and he had just come back from the dread ordeal. The tron gates opened to our representative, and it seemed almost cool in the shade of these im- mense stone walls which have seen so many. tales of suffering and death. Then there was hot, close, sunny court to traverse, and once lore & small barred gate which admitted to the ir pri. son.

He came forward, and, on hearing our representa- tive’s name, put forth his band, and in a manner that signified a cordial welcome. It was then time to scrutinize the face. It waa the same determined, hard-looking face which waa spoken so much about when the man was first tricd for his life. The mouth firmly drawn back and thin lps, the eyes gray and without a 100k of either fear or sympathy. The hair reddish and scanty; the mustache red and bristling plentifully; the head small but well set. ‘Evidently on the whole not @ man of instinctively bad but rather determined impulses; one who would not forgive a wrong; ope who would, treasure & Guat one, in vas) who would do Wisi ne nas dole, not d} tof Met hy plehacte fevenge. 8 he st thet Ing against the wall in an attitude of indifference he seemed une complete realization of the New York “b’hoy,”) and that is the best and worst there can be said of him, and un- doubtedly he did what nine-tenths of his compan- ions would have done under similar clreumstances.

Hew was Patrick Foley Brained?—A Singue Tar Affair, Coroner Keenan yesterday held an inquest in the case of Patrick Foley, who was found dead iu the stable of his employers, Sixty-sixth street and Tent avenue, on Sunday morning last, as previously re- ported in the HERALD. It was thought at first that deceased had been kicked by one of the horses, but some of deceased’s fmends thought he had been murdered. ‘Time was accordingly given them by the Coroner to procure evidence to that effect, but they were unable to do so. It ap- peared in evidence that at midnight decease! was much under the influence of liquor and was left at the stable in that condition by two friends. Dre Wooster Beach found that deceased had a fracture of the skull, which might have been caused by being kicked against the side of the stabie or by a fail. In the opinion of the jury death was the result of an ac cidental fail, and they found accordingly. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE IN HOBOKEN. Curistian F.
