THEORIES TUMBLING DOWN. a Queerly Discomforting and Perplexing Ewvi- | covered in No. 4, the residence of N. L. Gence—A Clear Alibi Proven for the Sus« pected Man—The Relatives of Gra- ham—More Discoveries, ‘The mystery of the Graham murder grows daily deeper and more perplexing. The inquest was re- @umed yesterday, and the testimony obtained from the witnesses who were examined was of @ char- acter to astonish and confound many persons who ad formed and enunciated remantic and im- Probable theories regarding the crime. There existed in the village and its neighborhood Bince the jast sitting of tne Coroner’s jury a strong and growing suspicion in the minds of the Ambabitants against one Patrick Baggerton, who, 4t was whispered about, was the principal mur- erer, and a young man in his employ his supposed accomplice. The existence of the fact that Bagger- ton was indebted to Graham for considerable sums @f money, and was previous to the tragedy en- deavoring to effect a further loan of $500, of which amount he was in direct need, and knew aiso all about his neighbor's financial matters and where he kept his funds, was the primal cause of these suspicions. Later some rest- Jessness in the conduct of Baggerton was noted. He was watched and appeared to be possessed of a hidden spirit of guilt; was idle and distraught in his manner, instead of being attentive to his busi- mess a8 had been common with him, and the ‘watchers augured ill fer his soul. But it seems now that they were greatly mistaken, and wronged in their thoughts a man who is now believed to be perfectly innocent of the shedding of human blood, and has for many years been the possessor of a very high reputation for manliness and honesty. Baggerton's house is very near to that of Graham, and on the night of the murder a light was seen at a late hour in his Diacksmith shop, which is near at hand. This, the strongest suspicions circumstance against Baggere ton, was yesterday satisfactorily explained, and s@ppears to have no connection whatever with the crime, The only other important testimony elictted yes- terday was that in reference to the identity of the men who claim to be half-brotkers of the deceased, Another brother, named Alexander Macreary, liv- ing in Philadelphia, had turned up and was placed on the stand, and strongly supported the testi- mony of John and Thomas. An uncle of Grahain ‘was also examined, who did much to banish all doubt regarding the truth of the claims of the Macrearys, Nothing was known to any of these ‘witnesses, however, of a sister said to be living in this country. A woman who visited Little Neck br Thursday claimed to be, She was not known to em. Owing to the fearful storm of sleet there was a comparatively small attendance of spectators at ‘the hall in which the inquest is held, and here the frigidity of the atmosphere drove the men of peace- ful, bovine looks rather frequently to the consola- tions afforded by the barroom fire and tap. District Attorney Downing and Squire Aamilton, of Flush- 4ng, were present. The Coroner, Dr. Reimer, called the names of the jury at hall-past one o'clock, and the investigation was then formally resumed, TH. IYSTERIOUS LIGHT.

Henry Jones, who was the victim of the tragedy ; THE BRIDGEFORT CONFLAGRATION. 1 Destruction ef Courtland Block—A Ter- rible Baptism of Fire—Inhabitants Driven, from Their Dwellings in a Pelting Snow Storm—$120,000 Worth of Property Burned. Bripaerosrt, Feb. 21, 1873. Courtland biock, a handsome block of thirteen four story vrick dwelling houses, one of the finest in the city, was destroyed by fire to-day and the occupants were driven out in the midst of a heavy northeast snow storm. The fire was first dis- Briggs, rector of Christ church, and it spread rapidly through the upper stories, ‘which were separated by only light partitions, and soon had enveloped the entire block in spite of the efforts of the firemen. The occupants were forced to save what they could of their furniture, although the storm was such that scarcely any- thing coul@ be got out save in a damaged con- dition. The police and citizens wno were present did al) they could to assist, and many of the heuse- hold goods were carried into Christ church, across the street. The smoke beat down into the street and was almost sutfocating, while the slush and snow was knee deep and the cuying storm added to the terrible character of the calamity. ‘8. Briggs, Who was very sick, was carried out of the house nearly an hour alter the fire com- menced. ‘The occupants of the dwellings were as folio No. 1, R. Il.

Pon ‘The dwellings were valued at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars each, and the loss must reach $120,000, The amount of the insurance it is impes- sible at present to ascertain, but it is probable that it will nearly cover the loss on the buildings, although biaay persons had no insurance on their eee and other property damaged and de- atroye ‘The burned block was one of the most handsome and substantial in the city, and the earful rapidity with which it was destroyed, in spite of the efforts oi the Fire Department, causes much alarm. The northeast wind caused the fire to run rapidly through the upper stories, which were not sepa- Tated by bi partition walls, Had they been thus built it is the opinion of all that the fire would have been confined to the building in which it originated. The citizens thus sud- denly driven irom their homes are among the first people of the place, and their loss in di turniture and articles of ornament, ictures, &c., Which cannot easily be replaced, wil hap Moet id and deplorable. The men, police aud citizens generally stood in the drenching storm and did their work well, but there was a lack of water from the first which obliged the steamers to use only about half their power, and the wide extent of the fire rendered it impossible to successfully combat it. Had there been any buildings adjoining Courtland block they must inevitably huve gone, and the isoiation of the block only saved the city from a still greater calamity. FIRE AT THE FOOT OF ROOSEVELT STREET, Loss $3,000—No Insurance. Fire broke out on the roof of the office of the South Side Railroad, attached to the ferry house, at the foot of Rovsevelt street, yesterday aiter- noon, and the fames were not subdued until the office and its contents had been destroyed. The loss will amount to about three thousand dollars, on which amount there is no insurance. The fire ‘was caused by the stovepipe becoming over- heated where it paased through the roof, FIRE AT JOHNSTOWN, WN. Y. JonNSTOWN, Feb. 21, 1873. A fire broke out about three o’clock this morning, destroying the Cayadutta House and several dwellings and places of business. The residence oi the late David Cody was badly damaged. Loss about seventy-five thousand dollars; partially in- sured, BROOKLYN BRUTALITY. A Young Man Beats His Stcpmother Almost to Death—Cause, Ram. Last evening John McGlynn, aged twenty-nine years, returned intoxicated to his home, 47 Pacific street, Brooklyn, and demanded some money from his stepmother, Mary McGlynn, so that he might procure more liquor. Mrs. McGlynn refused to comply with his request, whereupon he knockeé her down with a blow of his fist, and beat her terribly about the face, head and boay with aclub until she became in- sensible. The would-be murderer then escaped from the house and has since eluded arrest. Some of the other inmates of the house, hearing the noise of tne murderous affray, ran into the apartment where Mrs. McGlynn was lying in- sensible onthe floor and, removed her toa bed. Alter a little deiay a surgeon was summoned, and, upon an examination of the poor woman’s injuries, found that she was in a precarious con- dition, Her nose had been fractured by one of the blows delivered by the enraged assailant, and her body was covered with bruises. She was also in- Jared internally. HAYTI. The Elections Passing Of Quiectly— Proclamations by President Saget—The New Currency—A Treaty of Commerce with St. Domingc—Reforms Needed. PorT AU PRINCE, Jan. 2%, 1873, The excitement attendant upon the election of members of the Legislature is now over, and the apprehenaed rioting did not take place. Complete returns are not yet received from the provincial districts. The following list of Deputies elected for Port au Prince was published on the 15th inst. :—Boyer Bazelais, M. Adam, C. Debrosse, Mz. Salomon, Jr.; J. J. Audain, J. Mathieax, P. Lespes and Brutus St. Victor. As soon as these re- turns had been made public a proclamatien by President Saget was read, in view of the reported uprising, The following excerpt shows the gist of the document in question :— HaytTIANs!—While the people of this city are called upon to cast their votes for deputies, rumors have reached me of a public uprising. My resotu- tions are taken. I have sworn to maintain order at any price and to aupprens anarchy, and I call upon loyal citizens to assist me in preserving. pub- lie peace. I trust that this timely warning will suftice. Long. live our Republic and our constitu- tion! NISSAGE SAGET, President. NATIONAL PALACE, Jan, 15, 1873, FINANCIAL MATTERS. A further proclamation has )een emitted by the President with reference to the depreciated cur- rency of this country, and reads as follows:— On the 1st of February the existing currency wilt cease to be received as a legal tender in the public, The currency in question will be redeemed at the different points in the country (as ordained by tue decree of 29th of November last) until the 16th of April, and every facility will be accorded in this matter by. the various government officials. Nineteen miliion dollars of redeemed currency, contained in seventy-two sacks, were lately burned in public in this city. COUNTERFEIT NOTES. It is to be hoped that the new emission will re- tain a higher standard than th presen prosti- tuted currency, for no one can imagine how specie payments are to be eventully resumed when cur- rency holds the relation to specie of three to four hundred dollars for one dollar, and when there is hardly any specie in the ceuntry. The trade in counterfeit notes is still actively pursued, and lately a capture of 250 one dollar notes and 340 twenty dollar notes was made by the police. The cashier of the Currency Redemption Office at Cape Hayti has been arrested jor attempting to detraud the government of $150,000, ARMY AND NAVY, The army and navy of the government complain bitterly trat their salaries remain unpaid ior a protracted period, and are desireus of a metallic currency for the future.

The weather has been very wet and heavy. While effecting much good to the growing crops this weather has, of course, damaged the roads of the island to a considerable extent, and, should it con- tinue, will doubtless impede the manulacture and deteriorate the quality of the sugar, which has commenced to be made on a few estates, St. Lucia, The new year has opened auspiciously for the crop.

Rio JANEIRO, Jan. 25, 1873, This city is again suffering from the ravages of yellow fever, Many of the older and shrewder citi- zens prophesied for this Summer a yellow fever Season, and based their statements upon what seemed to them to be infalhble indications, and they have proved true prophets. Very little rain had fallen since the later weeks of November, and the atmosphere had that muggy, sultry, “yellow” character which too often in the tropics proves. the harbinger of disease. Some ascribe the visitation to the influx of Italian emi- gration, but at any rate, from causes which always | Seem mysterious and dificult to trace, the sebre amarela appeared in a marked form, and con- tinued to increase until I presume at the present time there are not many Jess than a hundred deaths per day. Deaths from all causes are promptly and accurately known, but these from yellow fever are not—for reasons best known to the authorities—accurately reported, SANITARY RULES, I am informed by physicians, both foreign and native, that the fever exists in its most virulent form, and generally indicates its appearance at the head of the spine and base of the brain rather than in the region of the loins, a8 most common hereto- tore. Physicians, some of them, have advised ull who can to leave the city. Hints and suggestions as to the best means to avoid the fever appear in the dauly papers; rules and sopiete regulatious are published by municipal authority, and arti- saus of all Classes strenuously urged to live in compliance with them; new or- dinances are passed by the city vernment and old ones raked up, and all enforced to cleanse and purity the public avenues and the byways; new hospitals are established at remote points, and any who are liable to be affected by fever are feeliug an alarm the absence of which would much sooner tend to insure an avoidance of fever. THE VICTIMS. So far it haa been almost exclusively confined to newcomers, and of these the lower classes of em- igrants. It has gone in like a scythe among the Portuguese and Italians. Very few AMERICANS have taken it, and I think only five have died. Among the foreigners there have been afew affect- ing cases. The bark Adelaide Norris, of Boston, commanded by Captain William W. Reed, of Maine, whose first mate was his son, William W. Reed, Jr. arrived here late in December, laden with ice, I have understood that both lather and son ex- erted themseives to make a dy secharg, bat the Captain was taken with the fever on ant January 3, and died on Monday, January 6, and son died on Wednesday, January 8. The Adelaide Norris sailed two or three days since, in command of Captain Theodore F. Dubois, formerly a volunteer lieutenaut commander United States Navy, and latterly commanding the coast steamer Bahia. Captain Dubois’ family came out in the steamer from New York which arrived here in November, presuming he was to remain here a number of years. Beiore they arrived here, however, circumstances had constrained his leav- ee employ, and now he has to mourn the loss of his eldest dangnter, MISS SARAH DUBOIS, @ young lady of eighteen years, the fever having taken her off after three day’s illness, The oldest residents, and especially those who have had the fever, are the ones who fear it least, knowing that if remedies are taken in time it cannot become severe or dangerous, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The HERALD special correspondent in Rio Ja- neiro, under date of January 25, supplics the fol- lowing interesting report of the movements of the United States squadron in the waters of Brazil:— The United States sloop-of-war Ticonderoga, Cap- tain O. C. Badger, is now in port receiving supplies from Paymaster 8. T. Browne, the United States Naval Storekeeper here. She arrived here on Tues- day last and will get away next Tuesday, the cap- tain wishing to avoid any danger of getting the yellow fever among his men, Officers and crew are well, The Ticonderoga will proceed to St. Cath- erines, and after a stay of ten days there will pro- ceed to Montevideo and join Rear Admiral Taylor, commanding this squadron, and who recently went up from Montevideo to Buenos Ayres in the United States steamer Wasp. The Lancaster (flagship) 1s ona three weeks’ cruise at sea, Tne United States sloop Omaha, Captain John OC. Febtjer, commanding, came in here, on her way to the South Pacific, to replenish her stores, arriving on Thursday, December 19, and sailing again on Monday, December 30, direct for the Straits of Magellan. She left fifteen men (delinquents), one of whom, I understand, has since died in hospital of yellow fever. Her officers and men are well, or were so when they left here. Midshipmen Heacock, Lowry and Motery came from the United States in the Omaha for uty on had nothing to complain of. Canes have wonder- fully improved of late, and it is hoped the crop wiil not fall off so greatly as was expected, Trinidad. But little sugar has been made as yet, The The police of the Third precinct were notified of the affair, and officers were immediately sent in search of McGlynn. Mrs. McGlynn is about forty- five years of age, and is represented to have been a quiet, hard-working woman, DEATH OF AN INOURABLE, An Unfounded Charge Against Mount , Sinai Hospital. A voluminous mass of testimony was taken by Coroner Kessler yesterday, during an inquest touching the death of Isaac Abrens, aged seventy- six years, who died at his home at 315 East Fifty- second street, on the 17th wit., having the previous day been removed from Mount Sinai Hospital, where he had been under treatment ten days for general debility. It was charged by relatives of the de- ceased that the action of the physicians of the hospital in sending the deceased home was in- judicious and had accelerated death. The evidence showed that the deceased, being an Incurabie, ought Not to have been admitved to the hospital, but yielding to the importunities of hfs triends, the officers of the hospital admitted him as a ‘paid patient.” After ten days’ treatment the phystcians would be beneficial, and they accordingly sent hin to his residence, where he died the following day.

Its Organization and Its Work in the Past—About Nine Hundred of the Twelve Hundred Pharmaceutists Have Registered—Deiaultcers To Be Prose. cuted. The Board of Pharmacy of the city of New York, created under the act of 1871, was intended te ele- vate the standing of the druggists of the city and prevent accidents from the compounding of medi- eines by inexperienced parties. For years the business of dispensing drugs had no safeguards thrown around it, and a blacksmith, shoemaker or hod carrier, with no knowledge of drugs, could compete with the educated pharmaceutist by opening astore next door and selling an in- ferior article. The law of 1870 was found to work pretty well, but it was detective, and hence the Legislature of 1871 enacted a new law, with im- portant amendments that were suggested by the test of the old one. The new Board, composed of Dr. William Neerquaad, examiner in materia medica, President; Manilus Smith, M. D.; Paul Bal- i pharmaceutical chemist; Tueobal ‘rohwein, Xaminer 10 practical pharmacy, aud Dr. Francis lu, Weismann, Secretary, in doses, tests, poisons, &c., organized on the 2ist of June, 1872. Notices were given in all the daily papers ordering drug- gists and their empioy¢s to appear for registration and examination. Many of them being slow to respond it was found advisable to send Ont personal notices to those Whose names were found in the directory, This “ge mumber re- aininations com- meuéed on the Ist of August and have continued at | Stated times ever since, The names of those who were notified and fatled to appear previous to the | Ist of January in this year were sent to the Dis- | trict Attorney for prosecution, as the law provide: as it is the intention of tie Board to prosecute all violations, ‘The Bord intend to ask for some changes in the law, as diplowas granted here are not recognized in kurope, Where the examinations ore searching and the graduates of a higher grade. ‘The city contains about twelve hundred persons who are subject to this law, yet only about five bundred proprietors and four hundred employés have registered. About 275 have been examined, many of them having presented Burepean diplo- mas that render an eXamination seary. Of the 275 about thirty-six have been rejected. About iwenty-five or thirty proprietors, sooner than undergo the critieal examination, have sold out and retired irom business, The Hoard recog- nize a diploma from the College of Pharmacy as evidence of qualifications as a plarmaceutist, and at once jicense the holder of it.

SINGULAR CASE OP SUICIDE, Opening a Vein in His Leg. Quite @ singular case of self-destruction, at the Eastern Hotel, 64 Whitehall street, was yesterday aiternoon reported to Coroner Kessler, at the City Hall, Mr. Andrew W. Robinson, a man forty-five years of age, and by trade a carpenter, has | boarded at the hotel for some time pas' as is alleged, in consequence of having ha a misunderstanding with his wife, who Itves elsewhere, Robinson was in the billiard room of the hotel on ‘thursday evening and appeared in his usual health and spirits, retiring at alate hour. He failed to make his appearance as usual yester- day morning, and at noon the chambermaid, look- ing into the room, found Robinson lying dead on the floor, Evidently he had got up in the morning, washed and rtially dressed Iimself, conceived the idea of putting an end to his life. Overturning @ chair on the floor as a pillow, Robinson lay down with his head ata naturai elevation, and after covering himself with several thicknesses of a quilt which he took from the bed, he deliberately opened a vein in the calf of his leg and calmly died from hemorrhage. One hundred dollars in currency was carried away. Aull tot of burdlar’s unpiements,was leit The body was not or wer Wl iy Wag eating?

The inqnest held by Coroner Meeks at Youkers, Westchester county, touching the death of Alfred H. Smith, a brakeman on the Hudson River Rail- Toad, who lost his life through the collison at Hastings on Tuesday, was brought to a rather un- Satisfactory close last evening. The official in- quiry has shed no light on the carelessness or in- pg eae bronght about the disaster; nei- ir it fixed the responsibility on either the railroad compan; or poh its em- ployés. Nothing could have been more posi- tive than the testimony of the flagmi Whose duty it was to set the danger signals, ud who swore that the “red ball’ was up when the extra traim came on regardless of the warning. In this the flagman was corroborated by several track laborers, who happened to be near the spot, pnd, sncerding to their testimony, could not possi- bly be mistaken. As an offset to ‘this, the e: eer of the extra train, together with his fireman and a conductor and brakesman, who were also on the train, testified emphatically that there was no danger sgeal splayed on the occasion, its is certain that the witnesses last men- tioned had a vital interest in looking out for the signals, as there is a draworidge a few feet from the place where the first collision occurred. In view of such confticting testimony the jury, after a lengthy deliberation, rendered a verdict that deceased was accidentally killed, but censured the railroad company for allowing their engines to use the up track while proceeding to the turning table. ‘hey also declared that the la~ bors of the flagman were too arduous, and recom- mended that an extra man be stationed at the Main street crossing. PATAL RAILROAD CASUALTY. Coroner Herrman yesterday held an inquest at his ofice, in the Clty Hall, in the case of Gustave May, a German, twenty-six years of age, who, on the 2d inet., was run over by car No. 71 of the Dry Dock Ratlroad Company, receiving a compound frac- ture of the leit leg. In about the centre of the block In avenue B, between Eleventh and Twellth streets, May attempted to jump on the front platform of the car, which was ciel obeled slowly, aud slipped before the front wheel, which pneeect over him, as stated, and with fatal result. The testimony showed that deceased did not request the driver to stop. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. Deceased, who was twenty-six years of age, lived at 181 avenue B, near where he was em- ployed as clerk in a dry goods store. May had no relatives in this country. ee MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
