PHILADELPHIA, May 11, 1873, Between ten and eleven o’clock on Saturday night an alarm of fire sounded from 456 New- market street. Smoke was escaping from the attic, basement and first floor, oc- cupied by Joseph Kollmar as a_ bakery. Other portions of the building he rented out by rooms. The attic was rented by Jeremiah White. When the cry of fire was raised Kollmar and one of his Journeymen ran up stairs, and, finding the attic door locked, burst it in, ‘The firemen soon arrived, and the fire was ex- tinguished, Soon acry was raised that two per- sons were smothering. A search revealed two bodies, those of a man and woman, with their throats cut, The woman lay on a straw mattress, which had been fired, the cords having been burned off, The body had fallen on the floor in the middle of the mattress. After the body of the man? which lay on the Noor with the feet toward the bed and the head to the northwest, was dragged into the back room, @ razor was found where his head had lain, The bodies were sent to the Morgue to- day. A portrait ferrotype which had been found in the attic led to the recpgnition of the murdered girl. Some one said it was Mary Bracken, whose mother lived in Clark’s avenue, running off But- tonwood street, above Fourth. Officers visited the house of Mrs. Bracken, and identified the picture as that of her daughter. The girl was of good moral character and highly spoken of by all. White was both boilermiker and shoemaker. Of late he had been working at shoemaking. From what has been developed it is evident that he decoyed the girl to the room and attempted to outrage her, and failing he cut her throat, set fire to the bed with @ coal oil lamp, and then cut his own throat. In his left hand was a bunch of her hair, tae girl’s left thumb was cut offand her hand badly gasued. On her right hand was only one sear. The murderer’s face was badly scratched. The upper rooms were occupied by four tenants. One of them, a Mrs. Braun, of the third story, says that a little before ten o'clock she heard White talking loudly, but supposed he was drunk aud talking to himself, After a while she heard him jump on the floor, and after another pause a heavy fall, This = after he set fire to the bed and had cut his own roat. Detective Franks says it is aclear case of at- hol dag rape, murder, arson and suicide, The key of the room ‘cannot be found, and the door was locked Inside, White was born in Ireland in 1831, and has a wife and children in Kent, England. A letter from his wife has been found, saying she was in distress, and asking for aid. Receipts for two drafts have been found, showing that he sent her $21 60 in No- vember, 1866, and $13. 60 in May, 1867. Kose Bracken, aged sixty, Mother of the mur- Gores = Says:—some five years ago Jeremiah hite had a room in my house. I then lived at No. 618 Newmarket street, When I moved I left him there. Ihave never permitted bim to come to ae house since on account of his bad character. Hi moved to Vine street, below Second. We new he had a wife in England. He said he had to leave Ireland on account of his Fenian- ism, but I think it was on account of a murder he committed. Mary left home on Saturday night, between seven and eight o'clock. I was not at home. She said she was going on an errand.

The picture was one he took from Mrs, Bracken’s house last Summer while she was absent from home, Erom Second and Vine streets Mrs, Bracken moved to Clark avenue, and, the house being so small, her husband said that he would go and live with nia daughter, Mrs, Keenan. Her daughter Mary was her only support. She worked in a cap store, and would not have been seventeen years old until the 13th of October, She was a rd emncwin, blonde, weil formed and of cheerful temperament, She and the family were Catholics. Her moral character was excellent, When found her toot was burnt off, her legs scorched up to the knee, White had " drinking bard of jate.

THE RUMOR OF GOVERNOR DIX’S DEATH. Rumor circulated in the city at an early hour last evening that Governor Dix had been attacked with an apoplectic fit and had died at Albany, yesterday at twelve o’clock, noon. As the rumors flew around they obtained consistency and were generally believed,. At the clubs—the Manhattan, the Union and the Union League—many per- sons vouchsafed for the accuracy of the rumor. At two churches the ministers in the pul- pits announced the death of the Governor asa fact. As Dr, John Hall was concluding his service @ card was handea up to him bearing the name of Dr. E. G. Paine, and on the back was the statement that the Governor was dead. The clergyman read it out to to the congregation amid the greatest excitement- Dr. Taylor, at the Tabernacle church, Thirty-fourth street and Sixth avenue, also made the announce- ment that the Governor was dead. In the lobbies of the Fifth Avenue Hotel the death was credited, and when it became known that two ministers had elven itas a fact, the belief was universal in its truth. é A HERALD reporter called at the house of Gen- eral Dix's son-in-law at alate hour. Mr. blake was not in, but Mrs, Blake, the Governor’s daughter, ‘was seated in the parlor under the inflgence of the most terrible emotion. She had become almost convinced of the truth of the rumor, but, in the ab- sence of the official news, tried to doubt. Mrs, Blake told the reporter that she had received numerous callers, all of whom asked for information, but could give none. At each instant the bell rang she would almost swoon away, fearing that it was some messenger with the tidings of her father’s death. As she was speaking to the HEKALD re- porter Colonel G, G. Haven, aide-de-camp to Gov- erner Dix, came in and said that he had fust ceived a despatch signed Bop tee Op- erator, Albany,” and dated ten o'clock P. . which said:—‘Governor Dix at this hour ts alive and in pefect health, as usual.” At this an- nouncement the scene which ensued can be more easily imagined than described, The family, and even the servants who were assembled in the hall, were wild with joy. Mrs. Blake sald she thougnt the man who originated the report should be pun- ished, It was aheartiess and cowardly act. Visit- ors still kept pouring in, and when they learned the good news, congratulated the now happy daughter of the Governor, Ste had been kept in a state of suspense since late in the afternoon regarding Governor Dix. At the first intimation her hus- band left for Albany. ‘The excitement still continued elsewhere, and to that extent was the matter credited that people would not believe the truth when told of it.

A Subject of Deep Interest in Gov- ernment @ircles. Why Did the Best Portion of the Crew Remain on Board? The Vessel in Good Hands and Thought Likely To Be Safe. If Necessary a Ship To Be Sent in Search of the Polaris. The Expedition Considered Abandoned. What Mr. Henry Crinnell Has to Say. TEE EXPEDITION NOT A FAILURE. Captain Hall’s Peculiarities and ‘Temperament. ‘Wasuineton, May 11, 1873. ‘The Herarp’s thrilling account of the ‘ad- ventures and rescue of a portion of the crew of the Polaris continues to be the leading topic of conversation in official circles, espe- cially at the Navy Department, under whose auspices the expedition was fitted out. The fate of the Polaris becomes now a serious sub- ject, although naval officers are of the opinion that the fourteen remaining on board aro fully able to sail the vessel. It is considered somewhat singular that the better portion of the crew should have .remained on board. Captain Buddington, now in command, has not his superior as a sailor. He has made at least a dozen whaling voyages in Baffin Bay, and understands the management of a vessel in those waters. Chief mate Ches- ter has also had long experience as an officer of a whaling ship, and his life has been passed in the Arctic region. He is also thoroughly educated and informed of the locality. Morton, Dr. Bessel, Bryan, the as- tronomer, and the seamen, most of whom are Americans, will have little difficulty, it is thought, in making a harbor. Secretary Robe- son, however, has deemed it advisable that Captain Tyson, the assistant navigator; Fred- erick Meyer, the meteorologist, and one or two of the Esquimaux rescued, should come to Washington without delay, that the history of the adventures of the Polaris may be thor- oughly and properly understood by the Navy Department, Should it appear necessary, a vessel will immediately be ordered to Baffin Bay to look out for the Polaris. the provisions has been consumed, and the boats of the Polaris being all gone, the expe- dition may be considered as abandoned. It has not yet been determined what to do with the rescued seamen and Esquimaux. Orders have been sent to our consul at St. Johns to see that they are properly provided for, Tyson and Meyer will leave there at once for Washington, So much of HENRY GRINNELL ON THE ARCTIC HORROR. —— His Views as Expressed to a Herald Re- porter=The Expedition Not a Fail- ure—The Manner of the Death of Captain Hall—“A Search Expedition Might Be Sent Out Next Year, but Not This.” Mr. Henry Grinnell, who has been prominently connected with Arctic explorations, was called upon yesterday by a reporter of the HERALD in con- nection with the failure of the Polaris expedition, The reporter found Mr. Grinnell at his residence, 17 Bond street. He wasat dinner, but came out to converse with the reporter. Mr. GRINNELL—I really don’t know what more I could tell you for publication in the Heratp. The HERALD has given ns already so much information about the matter that I don’t know that there is anything left for me to tell you. REPoRTER—Do you consider the expedition a complete failure ? Mr. GRINNELL—I don’t consider it a failure at all. The vessel has gone further north than any ves- sel ever did before, I’m sure Idon’t see that it is a failure at all. RePorTER—Do you think Captain Buddington and his men will return ? Mr. GRINNELI—Oh, I think they will all come back allright. They can live very pleasantly on the ship up there. They have plenty of provisions, | Tthink THE POLARIS WILL COME BACK, REPORTER—Do you think Captain Hall died a natural death ? Mr. GRINNELL—I think it very likely. He wasa stout man, who must have weighed 220 pounds, had a short neck—in fact, he looked like an apoplectic man. He was very temperate, it is true, a8 far as drinking was concerned, or any- thing like that; but at times he would get very much excited, Ishould think Captain Hall was a man subject to apoplexy. The idea that murder was committed is very distant from my mind. REPORTER—How do you account for the separat- ing of the crew ? Mr. GRINNELL—Well, they probably wanted to discharge part of the cargo to make room on the ship, which 18a general practice with ships seeking Winter quarters, and when she burst her moorings the gale probably drove the floe one way and the ship the other. To tell you the truth, I don’t thiuk I can give you very much information. I have read everything in regard to the failure of the ex- pedition in the HakaLp, and I think everything I read was very good and very correct. ReroRTER—Do you think Captain Buddington will return this year ? EXPECTED RETURN OF THE SHIP. Mr. GRINNELL—Well, I don’t think he will come home before the 10th er 15th of September—about that time. 1 have no apprenension as regards thelr salety. erhebe Buddington is a man of cm experience ; he has Wintered up there half a dozen times: and then they have Bessel, Ihave great confidence in him, REPORTER—Do you think the ship was fit for the service ¥ Mr. GRINNELL—I think it was well equipped and well adapted for the service, It is true, as Dr. Hayes has observed, that the sides were too per- pendicular, Of course, it was not the model of a ship for that service, but I think it was as good as could have been obtained uniess we had specially built One for the service. As regards the manage- ment of the expedition, J think it must have been very good indeed to hi got so far nerth. REPORTER—Do you think Captain Hall took the nt course ? . GRINNELL—Yes, I think Smith’s Sound is the BEST PASSAGE TO THR POLAR SKA. I think we shail find the way to the North Pole yet, You see, we ought to besiege the North Pole just a4 we did Richmand—qud we shguld copquer it, we should sacceed. What we it to do is to estab- lish depots there, and follow it up year Csggehe si There is no doubt about the Polar Sea. here such large masses of ice are drifting at the rate of twenty or twenty-five miles @ day there must be an open space where they come from, But it is porieasiy marvellous how these r people could ave lived on the floe 190 days—it’s wonderful. As regards Captain Hall's success, I think he kas done quite as much as I expected him to have dene. RerorTeR—Will the government send out a ves- Set in search of Captain Buddington’s party ? Mr. GRINNELL—I think 1t would be very proper to gond a vessel to the mouth of Smith's Seund. You know, when Kane was missing, an expedition Was sent out after him. Of course the action of the government will very much depend on the re- pore of Captain Tyson in regard to the safety ef the ‘olaris. 1 remember that a large number of whal- ere Were crushed some twenty years ago, and NOT ONE OF THEM WAS LOST. I don’t think that there is an imperative necessity of sending out a vessel this year; but if we sbould hear nothing of Captain buddingtou's party this year, it will be time to send one next year. They have plenty ef provisions, At any rate, the vessel ought not to start before July, and then a steamer could go up and return in sixty days. The government is certainly bound to do something. THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE. of the Remains Washington. Arrival in Services at the Metropolitan Church—The Pall- bearers To-Day—Visitors at the Supreme Court Chamber—The Features of the Deceased Greatly Altered. WASHINGTON, May 11, 1873. The remains of the late Chief Justice Chase ar- rived here early this morning, accompanied by the relatives and pallbearers, and were conveyed to the Supreme Court room, where they were placed on the catafaique, the same on which the body of Lincoln reposed in state. in the rotunda of the Capitol in April, 1865, In addition to the floral decorations brought from New York, & number of tresh and tastefully-arranged new ones, in the form of crosses, wreaths, anchors, &c., were placed on the cofin and catafalque, the most of them being from the government conservatory by direction of General Babcock. Immediately in front of the draped seat, formerly occupied by the late Chief Justice, was A LARGE FLORAL CRO8S, while inside the bar were boxes of the choicest blooming flowers, The white floral decorations were in broad contrast with the color of the casket and the black cloth covering of the catafatque, rendering the effect beautiful, though soiemn, amid the surrounding heavy mourning drapery. A guard of policemen and servants of the couris were in attendance. Several thousand persons visited the Supreme Court room in the course ot the day, but were disappointed in not seeing the face o1 the deceased. The casket was opened by a physician for private inspection, but was again soon closed, for the reason, it is said, that the features had undergone a marked change, Therelore it was thought proper not to expose them. THE FUNERAL SERVICES will at noon to-morrow be conducted py the Rev. Dr, Tiffany in the Senate Chamber. All of the fur- niture, including carpets, was some time ago re- moved, but the chairs will be temporarily aestored, and the Vice President's seat, Secretary's desk and other pares of the chamber will be draped in mourning, President Grant and his son Frederick were among the congregation of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church to-day. ‘The tront of the pulpit was covered with black cloth, on which were two small cresses of white material. The pew formerly occupied by the late Chief Justice ‘was heavily draped with black. SERMON BY DR. TIFFANY. Rev. Dr. Tiffany, the pastor, preached from the text, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you.” Toward the end of the discourse ne alluded to the deceased as having been influenced in his public and private life by the peace thus be- stowed by the Saviour. The minister said they should no more see the manly form of their friend alee up the aisle to his accustomed seat where je was always an attentive liste r. Though fear- less and earnest in the disctitrge of his secular duties, he was as humble as a child at the com- munion of the church. The allusions to the late Chief Justice seemed to teueh every heart, VISITORS AT THE SUPREME COURT, Among those who visited the Supreme Court room was A, R. Plumley, of advanced age, who transferred to Mr. Chase, in 1826, the male depart- ment of his academy, at the time the deceased entered upon his duties a8 a teacher in this city. Mr. Plumley, in appreciation of the repeated acts of kindness to him by the deceased since that time, is among those most deeply aifected by the death of his friend. THE PALLBEARERS. The following gentlemen have been appointed palibearers:—Admiral —_ Goldsborough, General McDowell; Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania; Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire; Senator Nor- wood, of Geotgia; Hon.

Joseph Casey and Hon. Mr. Schley, of Maryland. A CADETSHIP FOR THE SCHOOLS, The announcement that Colonel Wiliam R. Roberts, member of Congress, representing the Fifth Gistrict, comprising the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Fourteenth wards, would appoint to the West Point Academy a cadet from among the public and parochial schools of his district, has created an intense excitement among the 30,000 lads of that part of the city. The house of the honorable gentleman was iairly besieged all day yesterday, and he was at last compelled to seek refuge at the rooms of the Oriental Club, on East Broadway. ‘To obviate further trouble of this kind Mr. Roberts has gained the consent oi Superinten- dent Kiddie to make formal announcement to the principals of the common schools‘of the arrange- ments for the competitive @Xamination, and now, by the medium of the HERALD, reters the teachers of the private schoais to Mr. Kiddie tor information in detail. The examination will come off on Mon- day, the 19th inst., at the halls of the Board of Education, at ten o’clock A, M., and will be con- ed in the presence of a committee of citizens selected by Police Justice Shandiey, whose names will be announced before the close of the week. One of the main incengives to the schoolboys has been the knowledge recently imparted to them of the triumphant success in alate examination at Annapolis of young “Admiral” O’Keele, who actually stood fourth in point of merit in a class of over seventy. It will be remembered that this young cadet, Who 1s @ son of a dock jaborer and formerly a pupil in one of the First Ward grammar schools, who gained a precarious livelihood beyond school hours by selling newspapers, received his appointment from Colonel Roberts after a severe test in the hall of the Board of Education last Sum- mer. That one so humble should secure so grand an opportunity for national fame has made the im- pression that this new chance may be easily ob- tained, and so every down town schoolboy is pos- sibly thinking of a military future, and, in his day dreams, clothing bimself i a gaudy uniform. Boys whose parents reside in the district, but who may attend school outside of the district, are also eligible, a8 Colonel Keberts desires all to have an equal chance.

A favorable reply ts anxiously waited for. Secretary Robeson not having authority to aow cept volunteers, has been obiged to decline thig and similar ofers, The government will try the regular troops first, and if voluntecrs are needew they can be had on the Pacific coast much sooner than from this side of the Rocky Mountains, The reported escape of the Modocs frou their stronghold in the lava beds docs not surprise the oficials at the War Department. This season of the year is wholly in favor of tha Indian, and with a thorough acquaintance of the’ country they can avoid our troops with but little: diMeulty, It is not expected they will traveil together or in squads, so that we may hear off squads of cavalry sent in every direction to hun@ down the fleeing savages. THE RICHMOND DUEL. a Condition of the Wounded Young Bloods-= Another Version of the Difficulty. RicuMonD, Va., May 11, 1873. The HERALD account of the duel here on Friday? between Messrs, Mordecal and McCarty is anx, iously looked for by the public. ‘The symptoms so far in the case of Mordecai, supposed mortally wounded, continue to be favorable. That he haw not rapidly sunk, considering the nature of hia wound, has caused his friends to hope for a possl- ble ultimate recovery. The attending physiciansy however, say that the chances against him are in’ ratio ef ninety-nine te ene in his tavor, The duel continues to be variously discussed in alk circles. McCarty proves to have been more sert- ously wounded tian at first reported. The conicat ball which struck him in the hip glanced from the: bone, and has embedded itself too deeply in he flesh’ to be readily extracted, even by the sur- geon’s skill. He has been suffering much fron nausea, spitting of blood, &c. In justice to all par- ties concerned I deem it prose to wive anothe: version | have heard of the last diMculty betweer! the above parties and which is alleged to have} been the immediate cause of tne hostile meeting. McUarty andajiriend were in the reireshment roe! of the club house, when the former settlement between himself and Mordecai being alluded to he remarked that he (McCarty) did not lixe the wa: the ladies had handled hisname in connection wit! the matter, sebming to imply that such remarks. were intimations of @ lcwn on his part. He added that if their talk Was not stopped he would hoid their brothers, husbands, cousins, fathers, &c., to a personal accountability for such loquacity. It was just at this juncture that Mordecai entered the room, and McVarty’s remarks being continued in a loud tone of voice, the inquiry was made by Mordecai whether his allusions were to him, and was followed by the results already detailed in the HERALD Of to-day.
