PS A Oase of Childbirth Hastened by Violence. Pent dN Dr. Riedell When Recalled Aitacks Father Pra- chensky—Marrying a Maniac—The Rever- ond Gentleman's Explauation—No His- tory Kept of tho Cases of Lunacy. The committee appointed by the Commissioners of Emigration to investigaie the affairs of the Insane Asylum for Emigrants on Ward's Island re- commenced their labors yesterday at two o'clock, fn the ofice of the institution, The gentlemen present and officially engaged in the inquiry were Commissioners E. B. Hart, Alexander Frear, James Lyuch, Sigismund Kaufmann, George J. Forrest and Willy Waliaeh. One or two physicians were fm attendance who will be cailed upom at some other time to give their testimony as ex- ports as to the system of treatment practised ‘with the insane inmates. Mrs. Scully, the matron, ‘was first examined and gave her testimony in a wlightly embarrassed manner, which might perhaps be expected from @ woman in such a position, lowever it prejudiced her anewers somewhat and lensed Commissioner Hart not alittle. Some of her assertions were aftorwards flatly contra- dicted by Dr. Riedell im the divers explanations ‘which he was allowed to make; and the contra. dictions referred to were supported by the testt- mony of Orderly Butler, whose mauner was most honest and conscientious. Some lan- guage, which had been imputed to Father ‘Prachensky, the Chaplain of tne islands, by pr. Riedell, as having been addressed to the ‘witness was denied by the latter as well as by the reverend gentleman himself. Di, Riedell also made the oharge against the priest of having performed the ceremony of wedlock between one of the in- ‘Mates of the asylum and her betrothed, who came there from Providence for her. Father H. Prachen- sky explained this by saying that the woman was ‘eald to have recovered; that she was only waiting for some iriend to take her away, that she might ‘get her discharge and that he could not allow her to go under the care of her “iuture one” unless they should be first united by the connubial tie, The point of mest moment in Dr, Riedeli’s admis- pions on his recall was that he acknowledged hav- Ing kept no history of any of the cases under his charge, so that when part of them were t-ansierred to another asylum he was unable to put in the pos- session of the physician into whose care they were surrendered facts concerning their former condl- tions. ‘The investigation was adjourned at six p'cluck until next Saturday, EXAMINATION OF THE MATRON. \..Mrs. Gatharine Scully was examined by Commissioner Hart—Is the matron of the insane department; the pa- tients have breakiast at six and at seven are let into the ‘ard; they can remain In the building in preierence if Itey énoose ; when they become viv.ent we put. therm hs until’ they arg calmer, and then they axe | jet out again; in most cases thoy are confined pnly from one'to four hours; have never used any mnnecessary. violence myself; once a patient would ot take off her shoes, and kicked helper, ra.

The former asked per- | mission of Warden Mark Finlay to see his wife. In a | few moments the wretched woman, who is about thirty-five years of age, but looks nearer fifty, was brought from her cell into the consultation room set apart for prisoners and their counsel, and hore at a few feet apart from Stokes, who was chatting | with a friend, she told her tale of the murderous affair, with a'strong Neapolitan accent, She was dressed in an old cotton gown full of holes, and around her head was bound a handkerchief of the same material, Her story was short and delivered while piteously sobbing. She said the family was | Very poor, and she went down to the neighborhood of Washington Market to see if she could not pick { up some damaged fruit. “While picking some out of an ash barrel the boy Hart threw some mud at me aid stole some things out of my basket, and snatched my kutfe out of ny hand, He then ran away, throwing the knife as he ran, which | picked | Up, and he was caught by a gentleman and—and— and’’—here she came to a dead stop, for she could per bring herself to say that she had stabbed the boy. “© Holy Virgin! what shall Ido?

The parting scene which cusued betweea hus- ; band and wife was sad to witness, the woman wanting to follow him out of the prison, thinking that he had obtained her deliverance; but a touch on thearm from the jailer, with his heavy keys | dangling in one hand, speedily urdeceived ler, and, with a cry of desperation and down-vent head, she followed him to ker cell, there to undergo the polguant remorse which attends the lmpris- Oued assassin, |THE LATEST BROOKLYN HOMICIDE.

He was found in New ! york yesterday by a police oficer of the Fourth | precinct and was taken to Brooklyn.

Schuider thréw up | his arm to ward off the blow, which, however, | struck him lightly on the face. Quinn then stag- | gered and Jell back tothe pavement. At that mo- ment three or four fellows came up, one of whom, supposing that the prisoner had been abusing the | deceased, drew off his coat and was about to attack lim, when Schnider explained how it had oc- curred, Quinn then got up on his feet, and Schni- der went away leaving him there. ‘That | Was the last he saw of him.

A Long List of Supervisors and Several Objections. CONTINUED HEARING TO-DAY, The announcement that Juage Woolru would sit yesterday in the United States Circuit Court for the appointment of supervisors of election drew a large number of politicians to the federal building in Chambers street. The gathering was composed of Apoilo Hall menu, Tammanyites and republicans, Michael Norton was early in at- tendance., Peter Mitchell was also on hand, and white waiting for the arrival of the Judge Mr. Sanuel J, Tilden and ex-Judge Spencer were look- ing over law books, preparing themselves, probably, On sone point in reference to the Election law. Three lists, comprising about 2,500 names, have been sent into the Court, Theae lista represent the three political parties Into which our local or- geaulsations gre divided, and from these the Court witli be cated upon io select 1,038 perdons to act ad supervisors in the forthcoming election. I¢ had been stated that Judge Woodruit would sit at eleven o'clock, but it was close upon two before His Honor made his appearance. Judge Woodruf having taken his seat on tne bench, the Orier opened Court under a direction from the Judge to give notice to parties present that if they had any business in connection with the Election law they would be heard on present- fog their applications, Judge Woodruil then said that the act under which the Court was now open provided that the chief supervisor of the election district in which he may be a Commissioner shall first receive applications from parties for the appointment of supervisors of election for tho district for which the Commissioner was designated, and he shall present such applica- tions to the Judge and furnish such information to the Court as may enable the Court to make selec- tions of proper persons. The Court is now open for the appointment of supervisors of election for the Southern District of New York. Commissioner Davenport said he bad applica- tions from threo parties—the republicans, Apollo Hall and Tammany—and also a few special applica- tions, Judge Woodrut—It the list of names has not been made public, I desire now that it be Made public, to the end that if there be any objeotion to any one that has not come to the ears of the chief supervisor there may be an oppor tu- nity of hearing what the objection is, You had better read tie list, Commissioner Davenport then read the list down to the end of the First Assembly district. Ox-Judge Spencer said that, so far as he knew, the democratic party had selected men from their own electoral districts in accordance with what he considered to be the law. With regard to the lists of other organizations he knew of no objection to any stage individual, as the lists had been in the hands of the supervisors since Thursday last; but he objected to any party being made a super- visor uniess he resided tn the district, We,’ ob- ee ex-Judge Spencer, “have followed that rule. Commissioner Davenport—The law does not re- quire that. eesitee Spencer—Mr. Tilden and myself have examined this law very closely, and we have come to the conclusion that such is the law. Commissioner—The majority of the applications are from persons in the districts im which they re- side; and though, in my opinion, the law is not to this effect, it would be desirable that that should be the case, as, in that event, the inspectors wouid be better acquainted with persons in that district. Mr, Tilden—May it please the Court — Judge Woodruff—I beg your pardon, but I did not invite now any general objection, At present I can only hear objections as to the appajuiment of avy particular m: Mr. Tilden—There are, I suppose, two questions— } One as to the construction of the law in regard to the parties to be represented, We understand that the parties to be represented in these appoint- ments are the two great parties —— Judge Woodruf—t1 called for specific objections tonames, and not tor general objections. Mr. Tilden—I am not here to argue against any name or in favor of any name. Commissioner Davenport continued to read the list; having read for some time, The Judge observed that when the list was con- cluded he would hear particular objections to names, and also the general objection referred to spencer and Mr. Tilden, In the course of the reading it was stated that a | special application had been sent in from Justice Cox a3 a member of the Tammany Hall General Committee. Mr. Spencer denied that Justice Cox was a mem- ber of the Tammany Hall Committee, On the other hand, Mr. Peter Mitchell asserted that Justice Cox was still connected with ‘Tam- Hing and had received his nomination from that = 5 body. The. Allen, wiro was present, sald he had objec- tions to some of the names read by Mr. Daven- port. ange Woodruff replied that these objections would be disposed of at the proper time, Mr. Davenport said that during the morning he had received an additional list of names from the Republican Association In the Twentieth district. One list came from the Secretary of the association and the other from other parties in the Associa- tion, He should remark that the list came in aiter {t should have been presented. Judge Woodruft—Will you explain to me about these two lists ¥ Mr, Davenport—I found noone, apparently, at- tending to the matter. The list was sent in by a gentleman of the association at my request. I said that if the thing should be done it must be done at once, The Court—Does the list come from the same cominitiee ¢ Mr. Davenport—From the same association. The Court—And one list, you gay, is authenti- cated by the Secretary. The Court now suggests that, as far as opportunity now exists, you obtain such Information with regard to both of ‘those lists aa way enable the Court to make a proper selec- tion. Mr. Davenport having concluded the reading of the list, Judge Woodruit adjourned the Court to eleven o'clock this morning, when he will hear ob- jections as to the construction of the Election jaw, to the appointment of particular persons as in- Lap oy hy and also any special objections that may be fled. It is understood that Mr.S,J. Tilden and ex- | Judge Spencer will claim that the supervisors pre- sented by the democratic party and sustained by the liberal party are inspectors intended by the Jaw as representing one of the political parties, and that no intermediate organization of the city and | county, claiming to be a political party, can have supervisors appointed under this law, A ROW IN THE UNITED STATES BUILDING—THE, | ALLEN ON HIS MUSCLE, After the Court had adjourned and the crowa had Withdrawn to the lobby outside considerable noise Was heard, and it was ascertained that the cause | of the trouble arose from The. Allen calling a man named Finnegan “a repeater.” Allen at this time was sitting on the railing, and he received a blow | from Finnegan on the nose. This blow nearly kuocked Allen down, but he soon recovered him- self, Whereupon he went for Finnegan, to whom he dealt a smasher, which made Finnegan bite the | dust. Deputy Marshal Keloe interfered and re- moved both combatants from the building. No fur- ther action was taken, no arrests made; but it 1s expected that something racy wiil arise from the | little unpleasantness.

Shortly after four o'clock the Second division was formed on Henry street, and the line of march was taken up. The route was down Clinton street to First place, Henry street to Joralemon street, and thence to the piace set apart for review. The latter site wason the open ground, west of the County Court House, on Fulton avenue, Bear Boerum street. Here a rickety stand was erected, which was supposed to have been intended for the use of the pained Aldermen, heads of de- partments and members of the press, Unfortu- nately for the credit of the committee whose duty it was to see that these arrangements were ob- served, an uncouth, surly and apparently inebriaved individual was de: ated to guard the stairs lead- ing to the platform. The consequence was that several newspaper representatives were not al- lowed before the stand at all, their places being usuryed by ‘small fry" politicians, The throng about the point of review was very great, and it required the utmost exer- tion on the part of Inspector of Police John 8. Folk and a numerous detachment of men to keep the requisite space clear. The crowd waited anxiqusiy the appearance of the head of the column, fearing that the shades of night would fall upon the e pected military scene ere the object of their vigil snould reach that point. The Governor and his staff were drawa up in front of the platiorm, and were gratified with a view of the head of the col- umn shortly after six o'clock. the Second division, fled past in the subjoined order :— Separate Troop. Cavalry, Captain NeCarty. Battery A, Artillery, Qaptain Philip A. Stubu. atiéry B, Ariliery, Major Thutes.

Bloveaie Bilgade, Brigadier Genoral Meserole, consisting iene rate Trgops sf i Captat y-third Regim ‘olonel Ward; Thirty-second, Regi- ment, Colonel Roche; Forty-seventh Regiment, Colonel Austin; liowitzer Battery, Uaptain Simons, Each officer saluted as the line moved rapidly by on into Boerum street, along thence to Schermer- horn, thence to Flatbush avenue and Hanson place, to Cumberland street and Myrtle avenue, Where the column was dismissed. It was quite dark ere the dismissal, and itis tobe regretted that an eariter hour was not fixed for the parade and review. FIRE IN WILLIAMSBURG.

Heggi went to Newark and found the deceased very feeble and sick. Siegfried wanted to sell his mortgages and go to Switzerland, and he asked him (Heggi) to go with him to New York and take care of him, as he did not want his own family to have anything to to do with him; he brought litm to his (Heggi’s) home and called’ Dr. Krebble the next day, who prescribed for him; the deceased toid Heggt once that he would leave something to the child of the younger Mrs. Sieg- fried; no conversation took place between Heggl and the young Mrs. Siegfried about the will.
