An Investigation Before Coroner Young— Love, Absinthe and Aberration of Mind—“On the Beach at Long Branch.” Coroner Young yesterday held an inquest at the residence of Mrs, Parsons, 42 South Washington square, on the body of Luigi Fito Rocco, the mu- sician, who committed suicide on Monday night last. The most important portion of the testimony elicited before the Coroner and the jury will be fund below. Mrs. Helen A, Parsons deposed that deceased had boarded with her since April last; for the past two weeks he had been drinking to excess of French liqueur called absinthe; always conaucted himself like a gentleman; occasionally he has been irrita- ble, excitable and nervous, and complained about his head; he offered himself to my daughter, but no engagement took place; he spoke to me about marrying my daughter on Friday; I told him she was nothing but @ mere child, and they were strangers to each other; at that time my daughter ‘was absent at Long Branch ; deceased replied when Lobjected to his marrying my daughter—he said :— “My God, is it possible? You will both suffer for this,” at the same time shaking his finger at me and going towards his trunk, we then being in his room; ou Friday evening he complained of great _ in his head ; he went to Long Branch on Satur- jay and returned the same evening; on Sunday evening he sat on the front stoop and appeared to have been drinking and had nervous twitchings; he had been drinking all day; on Monday after- noon, at half-past two o'clock, the witness inet him corner of Thompson street and South Washington square; he slapped her on the back aud caught hold of her and turned her around; told my daugh- ter Clara, who was with me, that we had better get out of the way as he appeared to have been drinking; Monday night deceased was at inner and spent most of the evening on the stoop, Mary Louisa not being there; at times Rocco has been absent- minded and irritable ; he has said that if a person did not do as he wanted that he would shoot him; that he always kept a loaded pistol in his rooin; Rocco was not invited to go to Long Branch. Mary Louisa Parsons deposed that she was six- teen years of age, and had noticed that within the last month deceased was partial to her, but did not ask her to marry him; did not consider him as a suitor; met deceased at Long Branch on saturday last; he proposed marriage to her “on the beach at Long Branch,” and she told him that would depend altogether apon what her mother said; she asked him to go to the races, but he declined, on the ground that he had been up all the night before and ‘was tired. Francisco Schleiss, an old and particular friend of the deceased, living at No. 317 East Thirty-eighth street, testified that eco, Since the death of his father, about five years ago, had been unusually irritable and excitable; last saw him alive nearly pas weeks ago; his mother is now living in Napies, italy. ‘The case was then given to the jury, who fonnd that deceased committed suicide by shooting, while laboring under temporary aberration of mind. Deceased had told Miss Parsons that he was a native of France, but Mr. Schieiss declares Rocco was born in Naples, Italy. At two o’clock on Sunday next the funeral of de- ceased will be attended, from the undertaker’s, in Carmine street, where the remains now lie. ‘The. money, harp and other valuables left by Rocco will’ be turned over to the Public Administrator or placed in charge of the Italian Consul in this city, for the benefit of the mother and sister of deceased, now living in Florence, Italy. THE BANCKER MALPRACTICE CASE, No Poison Found in the System—Drs, Bancker d Quick Censured. Yesterday morning Coroner Herrman held an inquest in the case of the late Mrs. Sarah M. Bancker, of 118 West 124th street, who died some three weeks ago, as Was suspected, from the effects of an operation resorted ‘to for the purpose of pro- ducing @ miscarriage, full particulars of which ap- peared in the HeRaLD the day following Mrs, Bancker's death. There was also some slight sus- Picion that poison had been administered to de- ceased for the purpose of taking her life, and therefore Coroner Herrman ordered the ar- rest and detention of Dr. William W. Bancker, husband of deceased, to await the result of an investigation. It was known that Mrs. Baucker had been delivered of a foxtus, whitch fuck her husband at first denied to the Coroner, and it likewise appeared that Dr. Theodore Quick, who was called in, gave an improper certificate of death, AN analysis of the stomach and other or- gans of deceased was ordered by Coroner Kee- han and performed by Dr. Walz, a competent, chemist, who, however, was unable to detect the sey. 0 lo ey still Kept one length in front at the three-qui pols, we second, eight Jengths in advance of Mary A.

WhO made @ post-mortem examination ou the body of deceased, said that in his opinion death was caused by exhaustion consequent upon abortion, juite @ mass of testimony was taken, but it is not suficiently important to justify publication, The jury, after listening carefully to all the evi. dence and the charge of Coroner Herrman, ren- dered the following VERDICT: “That Sarah M. Bancker came to her death from an abortion due to causes to us unknown, and we severely censurg Dr. William W. Bancker for not reporting the birth of the foetus to the proper au- thorities; and we aiso censure Dr. Theodore Quick for not stating the remote as well as the immediate cause of death on the death certificate.” On the finding of the jury Dr. Bancker was dis- charged op his own recogiizance on the motion of his qounsel, but will be required to give bail in $1,v00. THE RODMAN ROBBERY. Narrow Escape from Heavier Losses---Detailed and Official Report of the Expert. Complaint of the Mayor and Warrants for Rodman’s Arrest, Sketch of the Prisoner and City ‘Treas- urer Sprague. "The escape of the city {treasury of Brooklyn from ®& More thorough depletion consequent upon the repeated raids of the late “Deputy” defaulting Treasurer M..T. Rodman, has become a source of wonderment to many, now that the extent and boldness of his robberies have been made known. The fact that so large an amount of the city money was placed in the keeping of the Trust Company, and that Rodman occupied the dual position of assistant treasurer and secretary of the repository of the funds, afforded him superior opportunities for plying his instinctive desire to steal. Of the money received from the city it was his custom, when he desired the use of funds, to retain the whole or such portion as he saw fit, and while entering it upon the City Treasurer's books ne would make no acknowleigment of the receipt upon the Trust Company's books. The directors of the institution were so well satisfied that they never made an examination of their accounts, re- posing all confidence in their secretary, and when the latter was finally found out the ‘TRUSTING, BUT SADLY DECEIVED COMPANY were astounded, It has been remarked as strange that Mr, Chauncey, the late receiver, did not dis cover the discrepancy between ihe items accredited to the city when he overhauled the books of the company, during the suspension, The assertion has been repeatedly made that there was a strong effort on the part of the fnends of Rodman to screen him from annoyance and also to protect the interests of a certain party of prominent officials fromm trouble. As goon as the Brooklyn Trust Company, of which M, T. Roaman was secretary, “burst up” Judge Pratt wrote a note to Assistant District Attorney Cullen (who 1s a nephew of Judge McCue and counsel for the com- pany), requesting him to come and see him about the ei area ofareceiver, This ready tender of judicial service on the part of ¢Judge of the Supreme Court, who affiiiates politically with the persons concerned, has led to some speculation in select and well informed circles, ‘The following is a copy of the OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTANT :— I hereby certity that at the request of Mr. .

His next move was to New York, where, after a short service as clerk in the Post Ufice, he went out of it into the Sub-Treasury in the same capacity. He Was next head of the firm oi Roainan, Fiske & Co., which failed, and then became cashier of the Cro- ton Bank, which—a curious coincidence—also failed shortly after ms connection withit. With this record behind him, and, through bis acquaint- ance with business men here, he was appointed secretary of the Brooklyn Trust Company. SKETCH OF CITY TREASURER SPRAGUE. Mr. Sprague is @ native of Pennsylvania and a man of about fifty years of age, He did business in Pennsylvania, and, it is said, was not successful there. He occupies a handsome residence in Wil- low street, First ward, where he has lived for several years, Some years ago he was induced to accept the democratic nomination for Supervisor in the First were, ie which position he was elected and re- bo } He 1s in the hardware business in Warren street, New York, the firm being Muliord & Sprague. Mr. Sprague was deemed to be a desirable acquisition to the men who take part in public atfurs, for the reason that he was a wealthy, sell-supporting citi- zen. His coupse in the’Board of Supervisors was at Once satisfactory to his party and the public, ‘Yhe office of City Treasurer was heid for many years by Judge Morse, and seems to have been con- ducted in about the way it has been managed in Mr. Sprague’s time, but there was never then any suspicion of indiscretion. oaks Morse Kept his office in the Nassau Bank, as Mr. Sprague has in the Trust Company. The office, for some reason or another, has not been deemed to be of very great importance beyond its financial trust. The Treasurer receives the money collected by the Tax Collector and others, puts it in the bank to his credit as Treasurer, and draws upon it if directed py the proper authorities, ‘he duties ot the office up to a very recent period have not been arduous. For many years Judge Morse didn’t have even the assistance of @ clerk. ‘The business of the office was con- ducted after a village fashion, and the revenues and expenditures of the city for the most ol his time, as compared with the present, were on a vil- lage scale. As late as 1861 the total revenue of the city was about $1,000,000, and it reaches this year over $6,000,000, In 1868 Mr. Sprague was nominated for the office of City Treasurer by the democratic ‘ty and elected, At the expiration oi his term of oitice, in 1871, he had administered his duties, as it was be- lieved, so satisfactorily that he was renominated, and his renomination was endorsed by the reiorm committees which were organized in that year and which still continue in one form er another He ‘Wus re-elected by a handsome majority, Mr. Sprague was deemed to be so strong with his party and with the public that his name has been trequently associated with the nomimation jor the Mayoralty, Mr. Sprague is, so¢ially, a very popular man. He aud President is a member of the Brooklyn Clu! Of the Long Island Club. Hie lives in very handsome style, but the manner of his life has always been deemed to be within his means. He is the owner of a country residence on the Hudson, which is, however, not ostentu- tious in its pretensions. Action will be taken at an early day by the Board of Aidermen to appoint a successor wo City ‘treasurer Sprague. $ MUSIC IN CENTRAL PARK.

New Yorx, August 20, 1873, To THe Epiror or THe HBRALD:— My name has been before you ina strange light for three days, The captain of the steamship City of Limerick bas made his statement, I think lam entitied to a hearing, ‘Coming 4 from Quarantine the captain told me the ship answered tne starbord helm better than the port. I shaped the ship's course wong. the docks, A sloop coming out of the East River [ deemed it my duty to stop the ship, 8ix other vessels being, acco ig to my in- etractions, in the way; and seeing the ship would not clear pier No. 1 North River I ordered her full ed ast instead of which she went ahead. Reve time ihe séruck she was not moving more thap one ap hour, Yor Cs, i D, de THOMAS, Pilot, THE WAWASSET INVESTIGATION, Report of the Board of Examination. The Potomac Ferry Company and the Officers of the Wawasset Found Guilty of Viola- tion of the Law--The Penal- ties Recommended, i WASHINGTON, August 29, 1873, ‘The Board appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to conduct the investigation into the cause of the disaster to the steamer Wawasset, con- sisting of Inspectors Rose and Edgar, having com- pleted their report, it was to-day submitted by the Supervising Inspector General to Secretary Rich- ardson, together with all the evidence taken in the case. The Secretary will examine them at his earliest convenience, and, following the re- commendations of the Board, will institute proceedings against the Potomac Ferry Company and the officers of the Wawaaset, found guilty of violation of law by the testimony taken, The re- Port of the Board is not very long, the object of inspectors Rose and Edgar, being simply to submit the evidence with their opinion bearing upon the conduct of the officers and the responsibility of the company. They frat take up THE CASE OF THE FERRY COMPANY, the evidence conclusively showing that the com- pany employed Captain Wood and Mate Gravatt, neither of them having @ licemge as required by section fourteen of the act of February 28, 1871, to provide for the better security of life on board of vessels propelied in whole or in part by steam, and that the company permitted these unlicensed officers to perform duties on the Wawasset, which only duly licensed officers are allowed to perform, For this flagrant violation of the law the Board ecar- nestly recommend the imposition of the prescribed penalties, as well as against Captain Wood and Mate Gravatt, who are made equally guilty and re- sponsible with the company. The section referred to makes it unlawiul to employ any person, or for any person to serve as a captain, chief mate, eng!- neer or pilot on any steamer, wno is not licensed by the inspectors, and any one so offending shall FORFEIT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR EACH OFFENCE, It will thus be seen that both the company and officers are liable to the penalty jor every trip made—the company for employing, ana the captain and mate for serving without a license. IN THE CASE OF ENGINEER NASH reference is made to the testimony of numerous, Witnesses who purchased liquor at the bar, which was served by the engineer, though duly licensed, and, trom all the evidence, a competent oificer, the Board find him guilty of negligence, abandoning his post, attending bar, beside engaging in trading at the several landings made by the .Wawasset on her trips to and trom the rivers, and thereby endangering the safety of the boat and the lives of the passen- gers. For this the Board revoke his license, by authority conferred by section 17 of the Steam- boat act already referred to, which provides that an engineer’s license shall be suspended or re- voked upon satistactory proo! of negligence. un- skilfulness, intemperance, or the wilful vioiation 1 any provision of the act, THE CONTROVERSY AS TO THE RIGHT OF TRE ‘WAWASSET to carry fifty or 150 passengers, as the company ciaimed, 18 next considered, A number of wit- nesses swore that, to the best of their belie, 150 was the number limited m the certiticate of inspection, while the In- Spector was positive the number was limited to filty. Atter due consideration the Board find that the copy of the certificate on tile in the George- town Custom House, limiting the number of pas- sengers to fifty, must be recognized as evidence conclusive of the correctness of the inspector’s statement. The company 1s therefore adjudged GUILTY OF FURTHER VIOLATION of the Steamboat act in taking on board a greater number O! passengers than was stated in the cer- tificate, for which the master and company, or eitver of the same, are liable to any persons suing jor the same, to forieit the amount of passage» money and $10 for each passenger veyond the “number thus allowed. In review ing the testimony the Board is painfull; impressed with the lack of organization on boar the Wawaset, which adds to the culpableness of the company and its unlicensed officers. The lat- ter are censured for the lack oi effort in saving the lives of the passengers and for inefilciency in the emergency. THE CREW, being subject only to the rules of discipline en- forced by their superiors, cannot be blamed for their conduct, though the evidence shows there was little effort.on their part to help the passen- gers. thére been a proper organiza tion of the oiiicers and crew, unquestion- ably the magnitude of the calamity would have been averted, In conclusion they regret that it was impossible to ascertain the cause of the fire, and, in the absence of evidence proving that the boat was not properly protected about the boil- ers, the Board do not venture an_ opinion. The inspectors distinctly state that the boilers were free from contact with any partition, and that the requirements of the law in this respect were faithtully regarded, They trust they have faithiully performed the dutées assigned them, and now leave the government to entorce the law enacted to meet just such dereliction as the Potomac Ferry or kasd and the unlicenced oilicers of the Wawasett have been guilty of. THE SICK CHILDREN. What the Excursion Did for Them=—The Expense Account, ‘The excursion which took place on Thursday under the auspices of tne Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute, inadvertently mentioned, in yesterday’s issue as “St John’s Guild,” has proved not only a success as an ‘excursion,’’ but of greaf practical benefit to those who, able to leave their sick beds in the close tenements, en- joyed fresh air and the beautiful river scenery. A representative of the HERALD to-day went among many of the families containing sick children, who were taken on board the Republic, The change in their condition was so noticeable as to draw forth expressions of surprise from physician who accompanied the re- porter. All of the extreme cases noticed were undergoing a change for the better that would seem to the ignorant almost miraculous; and it would seem that our citizens should enable these earnest workers to repeat the voyage weekly while the ‘season lasts. One poor woman held her babe up with an almost triumphant ex- een and said, ‘Sure, sir, my littie one is brightqning up, and will need no doctor in a few ays.’ One of the Italian women broke out in a perfect glory of similes, and, her face beaming and tears peginnin to fall irom her eyes, told her sad life story. ‘rhe only at Moment since she came to America was on Thursday, She went to a little cot and brought her baby to show how improved it was; but, of course, the change was noticeable only to the eyes of the mother, There is but one opinion among the visitors and physicians, and that is that the charitable should see to it that these excursions are repeated, even though they have to cut down the supply of flannel waistcoats tor the Hottentots and suspend the beg of hymn-books to ‘Timbuctoo. From Mr. Wiswall, the President of the society, the jollowing list of expenses attending the excur- sion was obtained ;— Corned beef. +++ $22 00 Crackers. $1 0 ams 9.0 Milk. 33 20 Bread 6 83 Butter 75 36 00 Barge and tug boat..

The fire is said to have been caused by children at play with matches in tye stable. Two sick guests were removed in salety. The hotel was entirely de- stroyed. Several adjoining houses were in im- minent danger, but were sayed by the exertions of the guests and islanders, The 108s is $3,000; insurance, $1,500. ROBBERY AT PASSAIO, BW. J. PaTERsON, N.
