FEMALE FRAILTY. A Night in the Clinton Street ‘Doctor’s Den.” Half a Dozen “Patients” for the Enterprising “Practitioner” in One Night—Who They Were and What They Were— An. Alarming Exhibit. An Important Witness in the Russell Murder. * A HERALD reporter entered tho den yesterd: evening m company with Sergeant Brooks, of tie ‘Thirteenth precinct. It was part of the police Programme that Sergeant Brooks was to play “quack doctor’ for the nonce, and receive Whatever “patients” or inquirers should hap- pen to present themselves, “It must be stated, in preface, that Tuesday evening was the reception evening of the “Madame,” or Mrs, Burns. On Tuesday, in the middle of the day, she Gesertea her comfortable residence on Long Island and remained at her apartments at No. 113 Clinton gtreet during the entire evening, returne ing home at mght. On Wednesday she occasionally returned to town in_ the middie of the day and consulted with ome of her more wealthy patients who disdained evening consultations, The Sergeant was dressed am private clothes and looked every inch @ “practitioner.” Tho next house to No. 118, at the Delancey street side, is a lager beer saloon. Three chairs were placed in front of the window and three quiet looking individuals were seated smoking ‘eigars aud apparently having little interest in WHAT WAS GOING ON about them, As the sergeant and the reporter passed the saloon quick glances were exchanged between the gentiemer who were enjoying ther evening smoke, and murmura sounding some- thing Very like “All right” was heard. Between the Jager saloon and Mrs. Burns’ establishment there is ts a narrow alleyway, and into this the reporter ‘was hustled by the sergeant, Walking to the end Be was confronted by another gentleman, who spparently had no particular business about He and the nt, however, understood each other, and the went into @ yard upon which the alleyway opened, Sergeant Brooks then explained that the three men in front and his companion in ‘the yard were detectives. He said he had been be- all'day long with applications fer ad- miittatice to the house by reporters and others, but he was obliged to refuse al—even some of the HIBRALD representatives, who had presented them- welves during the daytime. He feared that i{there were the least exeivement manifested tn tne neigh- borhood the visitors he expected would be soared off Very tew people knew of the arrest of Mra. Burns, and, save what. had appearea in the evening papers of yesterday, nothing was known of the crime with which she stood charged. Tlowever, the appearance of a number of strangers Outside the house during the day nad defeated his object, to Reertain extent, and some few people In the neighboring houses were gathered together in groups in front of their houses. To any one who ‘was not in the mystery, however, this would not ‘appear very strange on a fine night like last night, nd even as the reporter approiched the bouse be could detect no signs of ONUSUAL EXCITEMENT, It would appear, however, from what a detective afterwards said to our reporter, that the neignbor- hood had been schooled and tnat they were willing pupils to the poNce and tuily shared their wisn that the culprits should be arrested. Sergeant Brooks, after an interval, sald he would go quietly round to the house and admit the reporter, After a few momenta tho reporter found himself at the corner of the aliey in Clinton street again, and at a given signal from Sergeant Brooks quickly ascended the stoop of No. 138 and was admitted. The house is of red brick, two stories high, with a high stoop and unostenta- tious looking entrance, Inside the ha!l door the Sergeant knocked at aside door to the right which was quickly opened by a young man, When this individual saw that the Sergeant was accompanied by a stranger, the reporter could see his hand steal to the back pocket of his pants, from which he produced a pistol, which he trang‘erred to the breast pocket of his coat, keeping his left hand on the door Kuop alt the time, The reporter was barely inside the door when it was closea and he heard the key turned in the lock, pee Sergeant laughed and the young man looked a ttle sheepish at first. However, when it was ex- plained that (he reporter came for no UNLAWFUL PURPOSE. He smiled and said, “We cannot be too cantious.” This was also a detective, and his role was to play Qasistant surgeon to the “hoary abortionist,” Ser- ant Brooks. The only other occupant of the room as a tall, sallow woman, with sharp, pinched features and 4 paintully anxions expression about the eyes. She played with her hauds nervously and betrayed the grentest symptoms of excitement, which sne evidently struggled hard to subdue, She was introduced to the re- orter as Mrs, Ann Brice, by Sergeant ooks, Who added, in a deprecating sort of way. “she has no connection with Mrs. Burns beyond being the landlady of these houses, you know. There are respectable people living up stairs here, and of course she knew nothing of What was going ‘On in thts den.” “Yes, indeed, sir? added Mrs, Brice; nothing of what was goingon, Lown this house ana the next and I let them out to locgers, I bad no idea of what Mrs, Barns used to be at. Rerrorter—UCsed not a great many ladies, parti- cui ly young Jadies, visit Mrs. Burns here ¢ Mrs, BRrce—Yes, str, agreat many tndeed. RerorreER—O! what social standing would you think these ladies generally were ¢ Mrs. Brice—Of every Kind, sir, from the highest to the lowest, RerorTek—About how many used generally to ome tere. Mra. Brice—Abont a half a aozen, and sometimes fess, every Tuesday evening. You see that was the evening on which Mrs. Burns prescribed for the ladies, She used to come up from her place on Long Island every Tuesday and sometimes on a Wednesday. Strange to say, afterwards, in the hearing of the reporter, Mra, Brice minateiy described the instru ment which Mrs, Burns used tn “operating” on the woman who called on her. Mrs, Brice’s ap- pearance tallies with the description of the wo- man Whom some of the witnesses un- der arrest’ saw with Mrs Burns when ehe Was performing her diabolr operations, and it remains yet to be decided whether or not she was the woman who heid the unfortunate Mary Russell against the wail while the ogress, Mrs, Burns, en- Geavored to operate on her, Mrs. Brice stated to the reporter that Mrs. Burns rented trom her the tront basement and a bedroum at the back, the front parlor on the first Qoor and a back bedroom, The yo) RANSACKED EVERY HOLE AND CORNER in the house, but could discover no traces cither of arugs or instruments or any(ing which woutd lead them to believe that this nefarious irade was being carried on there, The parlor was rather neatly furnished, A drugget covered a rich carpet on the Coor, and on a side lable Were scattered some few articles of virtu.

She then promised to call last night.

The sudden disappearance of a young girl named Mollie Keeves has attracted the attention of tne authorities of Hamilton, Ohio, whose investigations have @ivulged the worst apprehensions of the girl’s iriends. For the last six weeks a party of young scoundrels have been keep!ng the girl in or near @ cornfield, on the west bank of the Miami River, where they visited her in droves for the vilest purposes, supplying her oc sionally with meagre provisions and whiskey. Her prolonged absence aroused a thorough search up and down the river, ali in vain, however; butin | one place, under the spreading vranches of a large tree, on the steep, precipitous bank, were found the remnants of her straw hat, torn mto snreds; further on were found Mer gaiter shves lying on the bank, half way down to the edge of the water.

WITHERS’ WANION WAYS, The River Mystery in Hoboken §& Une solvei—Tuose Houses “Up on the Hili%— The Mecea of “Tattletown’s” Politiciaus, Tne mystery which surrounds the manner in which Alexander R. Withers, of Engiand, came to his death last week yet remains unraveiled, although some light has been thrown on ithe case, The suggestion made in yesterday's HERALD that some of the police of Hudson county should immediately work up the case, was adopted by de- tective Charles Bageley, of Hoboken, who, on learn- ing that Withers had frequented one of the dens of ill repute on Union Il, repaired thither forthwith. On entering the unlucky abode of the wretched fe- males whom hypocritical politicians and other citi- zens of Hoboken had led to MISFORTUNE AND DEGRADATION, the detective encountered a fellow named Amos Prucx, This individual makes himself generaiy useful and attends to the horses and carriages that ply thither, He was subpienaed to attend the Cor- oner’s inguest and give any evidence that could tend to clear up the mystery of Withers’ death, He seemed vo regard the occurrence with the utmost sang froid ani looked on it as a matter of course. He has probably heard of many similar events in his time, Stortly afterwards Bageley asked for the dame who keeps the house, bat she could notbe found, She had been there in the morning, how- ever, and, as rumor goes, was visited by three omicials of Hopoken, who were notorious for their visits to the den, ‘hese gents informed the Madame that they could not go to her house any more; that thcy were in a perilous position just how, Inasmuch as THE NEW YORK HFRALD was pitching into the politicians who freanented her institute, Of course these ruitians will choose some otner place in future. She acknowledged that Withers had been there last week~-that he had given Gfteen dollars to the wretch with whom he ‘Was on terms of jutimacy, and that he paid FOUR DOLLARS FOR WINE, which was served up to them in an adjoining bar. room. ‘fhe lossgof the other $69 by Withers, which he was known to have had In iis possession, she did uot account for, She endeavorer to’ palliate charges made against her of complicity in the improper rejations between deceased and the —— femaie by averring = that the latter was not @ “regalar’’ resident of her house, but only a straggler from New York. She also tuok occasion to threaten vengeance on the author of the article tn yesterday's HekaLp, which must go far towards breaking Up this minature hell.

Upon iearning that the parents of Mary Carroll, ‘who died sudden!y at Dr. Rosenzwelg’s, in Second avenue, were living near Highland, the Hera.p’s | Vister county representative proceeded thither and | gathered all the facts obtamable bearing upon the case, in hopes that some new names or facts might be gleaned which would give some clue or lead to the discovery of the woman wno checked the trunk contaiming the body of Alice Bowlsby, It 1s evident that this woman was the speciat | agent of Rosenzwelg in matiers of this kind, and probably the only one outside of his own family employed for such purposes, as itis not likely that he would dare entrust his criminal secrets to more than one person. If, then, as in the case of Mary Carroll, @ Woman should be found vo figare promi ently, it was natural to suppose that she was the same one who checked the trunk on that eventful Saturday, With this theory in mind the HERALD representative started for Highland, Ulster county, and upon his arrival there learned that Dennis Carroll, the father of the deceased, lived about seven miles distant. INTERVIEW WITH MARY'S MOTIER. Repairing thither he found only Mrs, Carroll at home, the father and sons being at church. Mrs, Carroll is @ lady of avout seventy, and the first intl. mation she had of the nature of her daughter's death was from the reporter, she supposing that Mary died of dropsy at the Bellevue Hospital. Upon learning of the cause of Mary’s death sbe proke out into pitiful sobs, and exhibited great anguish, de- claring that THAT DOCTOR HAD KILLED HER DAUGRTER, As soon as she became more composed she made the lollowing statement:—‘Mary was about thirty- five yeass of age, with black hair and eyes ana clear complextun, and was rather robust and a little above the medium size, She had lived away trom home the greater part of her lite, She was @ modest girl, a good, kind daughter, and the last one I would suspect of doing wrong. The last I saw of her was in March. I was sick and she came to atvend me. Our family received notice of Mary’s death throngh George Hughes, my son-in-law, TRE NIGHT BEFORE SHE WAS TO BE BURIED.

In May last one of my daughters was sick. We sent to George Iughes, With whom she had been living, and at whose house we supposed she still was, for Mary to come home and see her sister. Hughes said she was tn Poughkeepsie. We sent to Poughkeepsie for her, but to the funeral My SHE COULD Nor BE FOUND, Hughes afterwards told us that she had gone to New York on the first trip of the Mary Powell. The next Iheara of her she was dead. Iam sure that Dr, Rosenzweig killed my darling daughter,’? Bidding the aged lady good day the reporter started for Patrick Carroll’s, a brotuer of Dennis, who he tound the family, consisting of father, mother and two daughters, at home, and at once stated the nature of his visit, ‘hey all with one accord declared there must be some mistake anout the cause of Mary’s death, a8 she was a good, modest, virtuous girl, and above reproach, They were deeply affected upon being informed wat there could be no mistake about tne cause of ner sudden decease.

He showed Mary Aun a telegram which he had received from a jrs. Waring, statlag that Mary had died at 687 Second avenue, and that he must come down for the body. Hughes went down ana brought the body up. At this pomt Mrs, Carrot produced a protograph of the deceased and mani- fested great emotion. The reporter, thinking it migit be of service, requesied 1, and iv was given him T did uot know anything more concerning the case, and reierred the reporter to Mary Ann, their daughter, at Poughkeepsie, who would be avie to farnisn more information on the subject, ‘The reporter then started for Poughkeepsie to in- terview Mary Ann Carroil. She had gone to New. burg, but he was warily received by the master of the house. That_gentieman said he had spoken to Mary Aun about Mary Carrol the day before, when | she remarked she lad no idea George Hugnes Would do such a thing; that If sle was a inan she WOULD MAKE HIM SUFFER FOR IT. The gervant became greatly excited, and was heard to walk her room all that night, taking ww herself, aud crying.

Dé. Karl Marx. Dr. Karl Marx, who was confessedly the leader of the International Society, and whose death in London 1s announced this morning, was known to the American people entirely through the medium ofthe HeRaLD, Early iu August we priuted an in- terview with him by one of our correspondents, in Which he expiained at great length what the Inter- national {3 and what it 1s not, and gave his ideas of property, taking the ground that capital is only another form of labor, and must go down. His opinion of the Commune and Communists and his views of society in England, Russia and America were also reported at length, the whole making one of the best news letters which even the HERALD has printed in a long time. But tp addition vo all this we pubtished yesterday a complete biography of the man, telling the story of his life with the minutic required in the case of really great men who suddenly spring into notice as the leading sprit or such duportant movements as that repressuted by the Inlernational Society. ‘Thus our readers have already been fully informea Of all the antecedents and opinions of this man, 80 much feared and wielding such a wonderful power up to the very last moment of luis Life, he name of Karl Marx does not appear in any of the collections of biographical sketches of emi- nentliving men, and yet the history of his life, as the | HERALD has @ready told tt, givea him a claim upon the attention of mankind more important in every way than the biographies of most ot the personages whose lives fiud a place in the Dictionaire Contem- poraires, He was born in ‘freves in 1818, and studied law in Bonn and Berlin, but soon turned his attention to philosophy, and afterwards to politica and political economy. In 1841 he took his professor- ship (Privafdocent) at Bonn, aud became in the fol- lowing year the editor of the Kheinische Zeitung of Cologne, the first paper openly opposed to the gov- ernment of Prussia, In splie of a double censor- ship institutea over the paper Karl Marx managed to say enough to win the sympathies of all the libe- rals, until then afraid to utter a eingle syl- lable of ofposition, and the government suppressed the pence by an act of force. Dr, Marx went then for safety to Parts, where he edites with Dr. Arnold Ruge (ihe German trausla- tor of H, T. Buckie’s work, and now also an ola emi- grant of London, the Dew!sche-Tranzdsisch?

His writ- ings both in his paper at Cologne aud in the Jahr- bucher were 60 unpalatable that the Prussian gov- ernment addressed an urgent demand to Louis Hella jor his expulsion from French territory. Louis Philippe consented to the request much to his own discredit, but even more to the shame of Alexander yon Humboldt, who assfste! in the nege- tiations. and Dr. Marx was torced to remove to bel- gium, where be lived till 1845 as a contributor to the German Zeitung of Brussels, Tbe February revolation waving changed for a time the state of political aifairs, Marx was again at laberty to go to Paris, and subsequently to Cojogne, wacre he started the NV ue Rhetische Zeiung, Bhs joying then absolute liberty of the press, the paper created soon a sensation, chiefly by its voit defence of the insurgents of June, 1843. In May of the newt year, however, When the insurrection broke out in Saxony, Kheinish Prussia, Westphaia ana South Germany, the new paper was again suppressed, and Dr. Marx, expelled once more from Germany, went again to Parts, where he tursed out to be just as unlucky, for the French authorities proposed to bin te alternative either of being inderne or of leaving Frenen soil at once. He seiected the second, went ; to Londen, and resumed there the publication of the same Neue kheinsche Zetiung in monthly parts: up to 1851, when the progress el the suonary spirit became sufficiently strong not anly to pronibit the importation of tie publication, but lo proscribe even the naine of tts editor, Dr. Marx lived twenty-two years in London, and died, we beiteve, 1 his neat little villa at Mattland Park, where he spent so many hours in_periect- ing his great conception of the International Society. But, busy as he always was with his in- tuigues In behalf of the working pogulation of Europe, he never relaxed the ardor of his studies in phuosopiy and political economy, After the death o1 his own journal he still continued to write for the newspapers, and was the authoro! many impor tant articles relating to European polities.

Having realized it in 1864, Marx gave it so much of his time that up to his deach he had not brought “i ug Second Yolume OL his most important work, 8 Kapital, Kiitik der Politischen Ovkonomie,” & book which is considered py many people as the ; Most valuable contribution made to the science of Political econoiny since the days of Ricardo, The esteem Ui whieh tnia work was heid by Dr. Marx may be understood irom tae sor that when the HERALD corresoondent asked him Wuaw wees the fundamental prine:ples of the international, he referred to the vook as the best exposition of its aims and objects. We may remark, by the way, that the work is already transiated into Kussian, alchough not into French or Euzlish, Of his otner Works, Der Achtzennte Brumaire des Louis Bona- parte” was first published im America ip 1852, and was only reprinted Germany in i870, Dr. Marx moe wilh great itiicity lu German, French and Bugiisn. Concerning nis private iife, one thing only 1s to be added here—that he was the tatber of two grown up and highly accomplished daughters and the good-natured husband of a jady who courageously shared ail the dangers of his political lite. ‘The extreme activity of his Me may be judged from the .act that from the draft of the first procia- mation of the society and of 1t3 statutes (28th sep- tember, 1864) ap to the smallest details of the pres- ent activity of the association, everything that was done by the International was, so far as leadership isconcerned, accomplished by this man. Our cor. Tespondent found him busily engaged receiving and assisting escaped Communists who found their way Wo London, and as most of them were destitute ths was a severe (ax on his purse as Well as his time, He was a man of means and lived in great comfort and happhiess, His death will be a severe blow to the society of which he was the founder, and may even Jead to te dissolution.

With the assist- ance of Deputy Marshal Cobb, of New Bed- ford, the men were found on board the whaling schooner Montezuma, which arrived at Vineyart Haven on Thursday. Late Saturday the prisouers were brought to this oity, and this morning they were arraigned before Commissioner Hallett. ine circumstances of the murder of Dominica are these:—It seems that while the Montezuina was at the isiand two of the crew—negroes—with (he bal- ance of the crew, went ashore, but when the time arrived for returaihg to the vessel tae negro seamen refused to go, and considerable physical exertion was used in compeiling them to doso, The crew succeeded In forcing one of the men on board, but in the case of the other a scume ensved, durin: which Dominica was killed by the captain, named Leach (Who has escaped), aided and abetted vy the men now under arrest.

Te Diselaims Ai! Responsibility for the Use of Troops at the New Orleans Convention, Marshal Packard and Collector Casey To Be Looked After. LONG BRANCH, Sept. 5, 1871, The Warmoth Committee, from Loulsiana (twenty ig number), arrived here at eleven o’clock A. M. to- day, the object of their visit being an interview with (he President in relation to the recent diméulties in New Orleans, where the Warmoth faction was prevented by the federal authorities from participating In the Convention of the repubhcan party, Carriages were in waiting at the depot, and the delegation were at once driven to the President's cotiase, where His Excelency by appointment, received them and ushered them into the reception room, where all the committee's grieve ances were laid before him, General Vampbell read to the President a state- ment of the views and the wishes of the commit- tee, and pres*nted to him an official copy of the proceedings and the resolutions of the Convention, which suit the committee. The address staves “that the Republican State Central Committee has been managed for the past year or two vy Mr. Packard, United states Marshall; Mr. Qasey, Collector of Cus- toms, Mr. Lowell, Postmaster of New Orleans; Mr. Joubert, Assessor of Internal Revenue, and the Lieutenant Governor of the State, These gentlemen have all been hostile toward Governor Warmoth, ana for nearly two years have waged a fierce contest against nim. They desired to eontrol the Convention this summer, and secure a new Central Committee In their own interest’ and Inimical to the Governor, and thus direct the organization of the nominating convention next year. Up to this date there bas been no division among the repuliicans of the State except on State issues. The party Was a unit in the support of the natlonal republican party ana of the national administration, Governor Warmotn’s friends were the hearty and earnest {riends of the President, One complaint was made by the friends of the state administration that the federal officials were allowed to make a bitter warfare upon the Governor and his friends, to support newspapers which at- lacked him with personal and virulont abuse, and to psomote dissensions in the coming convention upon the gubernatorial question, which was yet eighteen months distant. and which woula@ not be properly before the Con- vention of this year. But 1t was belleved that these oiticials did Unis without the knowledge or approval of the President, and Urat when he should be mate aware of the facts he would prevent his sabordt- nates from using thelr official patrowage to the in- terest of any facuion.’? : ‘Alter alluding to the manner in which the con- ventions used to be lela and stating that the repub- publicans desired nothing more than that the dele- ates should be summoned to meet in some public all where they could organize, the address goed on to state that Mr, Packard and Mr. Casey and their abettors or the Central Committee selected the United States Custom House ag the place of meet- ing. , This was extraordinary and indecent. It was a degradation of an important United States edi- fice for the partizan purposes of a faction of a political party, It was @ violation of tne right or the public, who were interested in the pusiness to which the Cusiom House is legitimately devoied, and It was an insult to the State authoriiies, tor by this oficial action of the Marshal and Coilec'or they thougnt to wiehdraw a political meeting of the citizens of the state from the jurisdiction and protection of the State author ues, assummg that these anthorilies were unwilling to do thelr duty ant aimed to place tt under the control of United States deputy marshals, acting in the capacity of @ police, who were appointed by Mr. Packard himscli, atthe time a partisan men- ber of the Convention.”” ‘The committee's adaress also complains of the Postmaster, Wio used the Post office asa place for the issuing of tickets for the Convention to such persons only as he and his party saw tit to permit within the Convention, and siates that “the action of Mr. Packard, United States Marshal, in calilug out and arming deputy United Staves marshals to police the Custom House aud preserve order at a republican convention was in violation of law, & gross breach of odicial duty and 4 grave outrag Upon the Tights of public assemblage and free speech.

He remarked also that the address preseut- ed a formidable array of charges against the federal oficers named therein, he said he had not author- ized tho use of troops, and that General Reynolds, when he fillea the requisition of Marshal Packard, @id not know they were to be used ui @ political convention. ‘The interview was in all respects very pleasant, and the President exhibited a deep tuterest during the reading of the address and during tue conversa- cluded the com- e of te Pre- ¥ aon. ‘Yhe business having been con mittee took a most cordial le sident, and without delay proceed to their hoiel,, where they held @ private meeting, the ‘nature and result of which has not Shorty after tnis they were driven to the depot, where they took the train for New York, and will be quartered jor a Jew days at the Firth Avenue ilotel, Daring @ conversation which I have just had with one of the President’s household, Who was present at the interview, | was assured that the President neither ordered nor kuew of the en muitary at the New Orleans Convention wu the scene at the Custom House, the pariicuiars of which are so fresh in tho ounds of the public. My informant spoke of General Keynoids, whe com- yanded the troops, as a cautions soldier, who, knowing tne fact that riots could be easily iumented in the Crescent City, had evidently acted upon his best judgment in employing the troops, and he scemed to think that the military commander had not exceeded his authority iu the premises nor violated any power delegated him by tuc War be- partment.
