JOHN KELLY. Sworn to before me, this 6th day of October, 1874,—FRBD. P. FAIRBANKS, Notary Public, Kings county, New York, THE MYSTERIOUS WEIGER CASE. fe MOLE. PE Investigation Before Coroner Eickhoff. Yesterday morning Coroner Eickhof investi- gated the case of Thomas Weiger, the old man who is supposed to baye died from injuries re- ceived on the 30th ult., by falling from the roof of a shed iu the coal yard No, 5 Oak street, as previ- ously reported in the HERaLD. Considering the fact that deceased bad fractures of the skull, collar bone, and of several ribs, besides other injuries, 1t ig @ remarkable fact that although able to talk and walk he entered no complaint to any one; passing through the hands of the Fourth precinct police, the Tombs court officials, and even remaining nearly two daya under the care of the physician to the City Prison before it was discovered that he was unwell and suffering from exhaustion. The great wonder ts that with such injuries Weiger was not speedily reduced to insensibiitty. It is true there were No external indications of in- | jury, but that deceased dia not make known his sufferings to some who saw and conversed with him after the accident, is not belleved by many. Justice Flammer was before Coroner Eickhod, but he remembered nothing about the case whatever. Below will be tound the most material portions of the testimony elicited:— Ellen Sullivan, sister of the deceased, living at No. 486 Pearl street, de; to hearing that her brother had been injured, and went to the Park Hospital, but did not find him; learned atterward that he was in the Tombs for drunkenness; could not see him; he eg learnea thas he had died in Bellevue Hospital, Patrick Giimartin, at work in the coal ia tes- tified that on the day of the occurrence deceased, being very drunk, went on the roof of the shed in the coal yard and fell through, a distance of about eigut feet; did not appear tobe at all hurt and made no complaint; two policemen and two citi- zens Came and took him to the station house: de- ceased said be had Jallep some time previously at his lodging house in James street and injured him- self; about two o’clock the same afternoon he waiked over to the Tombs with an officer; did not think deceased was hurt. Officer Stark, of the Fourth precinct, deposed that he assisted in taking deceased to the station house from the place where he had been injured; asked him his name, which ne gave; asked him if he was tojured, and he made no reply; he ap- peared to be drunk; think he fell about eight feet; ueard him groan once or twice, Officer Meyer, of the Fourth precinct, testified that he saw deceased in the station house, and thought he was drank; he was loeked up until two o'clock, and them he walked over to the ‘tombs; made @ complaint of intoxication, and Justice Flammer committed him; deceased did hot complain of feeling bad; he appeared in gooa humor on the way to the Tombs. Eergesae ‘Thompson, of the Fourth precinct, at. posed to seeing deceased in tne station house; among other questions, asked him if he was hart, and he said he felt no hurt; ruboed him well, and, ac the suggestion of Vaptain Ulman, made a care- ful examination; don’t think then his collar bone and Mi] were fractured; smelt liquor on him strongly. Doorman Worden testified that deceased was very drunk when admitted ; he was locked up and heard him make & complaint; heard deceased tell the sergeant at feel hurt. Micoael Caulta, one of the keepers at the Tombs, testified that he received deceased after he waa committed for intoxication ; he then made ne com- plaint, but he complained uring the night and ‘was Subsequently attended by the doctor; he was first put in the tenday house and afterwaras transferred to @ padded one don’t think he could have been injured in the DS. Dr. Brekes, physician at the Tombs, that he saw deceased on the afternoon that he was committed, saw him again the next morning and thinkw im unwell sent him to Bellevue Hospi- tal; did not know that he had been injured when a ery he appeared to be suffering from ex- austion. Deputy Coroner Marsh, who made a post-mortem examination, testified that shock from fracture of the skull, collar bene 80d ribs was the cause of death. The case was then submitted to the jury, who rendered the following Welger caine to his deat “That Thomas Wet tl is death from injuries received by accidentally jalling through a shed tw the coal yard No, 5 Oak street, in the ctt; of New York, on the 30th of September, 187: while in an intoxicated condition.” ORUSHED BY A BAGGAGE OAR, On Wednesday evening John Gogertz, a lad ten years of age, who lived at No. 21 Spring street, died in the vark Hospital from the effects of in- juries received on Monday afternoon last by being accidentally run over in Hudson street, near the depot, by bagsege car of the Hudson River Rati- road Company, is right foot and right arm were badly crashed, his arm having been amputated while inthe hospital. Coroner Eicknof was noti- fed and will hold an inquest over the remains. aint | Pearl, YACHTING. Mateh Race Betw the Kaiser William and the Emma T.—The Emma T. the Champion Sloop of the Brooklyn Yacht Ciw Croakere may think that yachting is on the de- cline as an American sport, but the Brooklyn Yacht Club have certainly done everything in their powétto Keep the interest alive. During the past season their regattas Nye always prove as cesses, and the numerous match races which have occurred show that the true yachtsman spirit ia ahve in the club, This inverest hag not only been shown among the wealthy and influential members of the club, but has extended throughout the entire organiza- tion. The slop yacht Recreation having won the ampion pennant for her class in the regular fall regatta she was challenged by the Emma T., which succeeded in winning the colors in a closely contested race on last Saturday. The Emma T. in turn wae challengea by the Kateer William, and the iesalt will be found below. ‘The course was from a stakeboat off the Brook- lyn Yacht Club house to and around southwest Spit Buoy 834, thence arouud Buoy 5%, off Sandy Hook, to the home stakeboat in Gravesend Bay, which was anchored just opposite ex-Mayer Gua- ther’s house, Long belore the time appointed sor the start the gentlemen interested in the match assembled atthe Brooklyn Yacht Club house, foot ef Court street, Brooklyn. ‘The sky was overcast and threatened rain, but the sturdy yachtsmen but- toned up their navy-blue coats and expressed their determination ‘to brave wind and weather at all hazards, The first gun was fred at ten min- utes past nine, and the Emma T. started off when the second signal was given, put just before the Kaiser William crosaea the line (ior the start was a flying one) she broke her maingaff, which ne- cessitated a considerable delay, in order to allow repairs to be made. The Kaiser William was titted Out a8 Speedily as possible, and, the boars having been drawn into line, they started as iollow: HM, 8. Kaiser Wiam 11 27 44 Emma T. immediately after crossing the st ig line both boats hoisted their fib topsatis. Just above Bay Ridge, on the Long Isiand shore, they were almost side by side; this was at lip. 47m., but ten min- Utes later the Kaiser was noticed to be anead, At 12h, Im., the wind having dica away a little, doth boats again hoisted their jib topsaiis, whicn had been taken in. Up to this time the race was most exciting, ana it was @ problem which the oldest salt could not determine ag to which of the gallant little sloops Would be the winner, The Emma T., however, seemed determined not to relinquish tue honors she had so dearly bought, and as Fort Hamilton was passed sne was clearly ahead, although not enough to foreshadow the victory which she ultimately gained. When opposite West Bank the wind had fresh- ened BP to such an extent that both boats took in their jib topsails, the Kaiser William meeting with an accident which virtually put her out of the Tace. The wind was blowing hard from the north- east, and the Kaiser's gaff topsail was carried away and dragged behind in the water, which de- layed the boat considerably. The Emma T. in the meantime had been sailing Bplendidly, and every move she made showed ‘that she was being well handled, Buoy 8% was turned in phe following order :— x . Se HM. S. Emma T.... 53 30 Kalser Willam..11 59 45 Just before reaching Buoy 5%, this side of Sandy Hook, the Emma T. made ‘two tacks and rounded the buoy at 1h, 19m. 10s. The Kasier was evidently in distress, as, alter tacking, her capain gave up the atttempt to round the buoy, thus giving the race and the champion pennant to the Emma T. The next race of interest is to take place next Tuesday, between the centrebdoard schooners { Magaie and Comet, both of the Brooklya Yacht THE BRIDGEPORT REGATTA, A Race Under Diffiiculties-An Easterly ‘Wind and a Choppy Sea—Two of the Yachts Capsized—The Winners and the Prizes. BrrpGerort, Conn., Oct. 8, 1874. In consequence of heavy, stormy weather the second day’s contest of the Bridgeport regatta, set down for yesterday, Was postponed. It took place this afternoon off Seaside Park, over the same tri- angular course as that of Tuesday. Owing to the threatening gaspect of the clouds but tew people witnessed it. By the results it 18 evi- dent the contestants had a rough time. The sea ran high, the wind blew down the Sound, and, to use Captain Handly’s expression, it was “a good deal hubby outside.” These conditions were un- @erstood before the start was made, but on con- sultation it was deemed best to proceed with the race. Boats of the second and fourth classes en- tered, and the prizes were $90 and $40 in each class respectively. Following are the entries:— BECOND CLASS, Tiger, Frank Bradbury, Bridgeport. Libbie, L, Goodsell, Briagepor: Jennie, —, hp tt UR Go Softly, Captain Handly, Westport,. Edward Sturdevant, Bridgeport. Quickstep, John Brooks, New Haven... Captains J. M. Samus, William Peck and Joseph Prindle were the judges. Mr. Henry Bishop acted as time keeper. An allowance of one a ball inches to the foot was made, THE START. About two o’clock P, M. a fying start was given the boats, the signal being a gun discharged from the deck of the yacht CU. D. Street. The Tiger, Libbie and Jennie, of the second class, dashed boldly tnto the work, but it soon became’ evident that they were undergoing a severe test. Aiter struggling @ distance of three miles the Jeume sprung her bowsprit and broke her throat hal- liards, and reluctantly put into the harbor of Beach Rock. The Tiger and Libvie finished put | one round each, Time, 48m, 83}¢8., and 50m. 208, The prizes were awarded to them. IN THE FOURTH CLASS the Go Softly capsized when in the act of scoring, and was withdrawn. The Quickstep reached the first stakeboat, and, while hauling on the wind jor a turn, capsized. She was towed into Bridge- port by the tug Kate Miller. The Pearl, close Teefed and with a seeming boldness equal to that of her brave satling master, went once around the course in defiance of tie elements, straining her timbers, in 68m. 378, She nobly earned the money, $90, which her owner receivea. ‘Taken ali in all the regatta nas been pleas! to those who, by their enterprise, inaugurated it, but 1n its results less satistactory than had been hoped for, Itis the unanimous opinion among the ex- perienced ones that contests for thie class of boats Should be made earlier in the season, THE BIGLIN-TEN EYOK RACE, Rough Water Causes a Second Postpone- ment, Nyack, N.

Any time yesterday or to-day the event could have been decided on the Tarrytown side of the river, and Biglin offered to row there, but Ten Eyck objected and claimed the right of the | Nyack water called for by the articles. The wind is still fresh from the eastward, but itis to be hoped that it will shift to some other quarter dur- ing the night, and give the oarsmen a@ chance to display their skill and endurance in swinging tno scuils, while at the same time tt will greatly relteve the releree, Ex-Commodore Voorhis, who is getting tired of the matter, is inciined to vote it a bore, Tne number of strangers in the town is very small.

THE ATTITUDE FOR RIFLE PRACTICE, To THE EDITTOR OF THE HERALD :— ‘There appears to me to be more feeling than sound sense in the remarks of your correspond- ents on the subject of position in rifle shooung. The only question, I think, should be utility. What is the object of the Rifle Association? Is it for the display of acrobatic feats, or is it for the development of a military arm toward perfection in warfare? I apprehend it needs no argument to demonstrate that lying on your back to shoot is utterly impracticable in modern warfare. That particular department of rifle shooting called sharpshooting is confined generally to firing from cover, either from bushes, behind or up trees, and in holes, called rifle pits. Coulda gentieman on his back do service under either of these circum- stances? I should take it that one man in the nor- mal attitude would, in those cases be worth a dozen gentlemen ou their backs, to say nothing of the necessity of a coacher to indicate the where- abouts of the object to be shot at. I recollect in my young days that the idea was pretty general (derived, no doubt, from the Leatherstocking stories) that It was no unusual jeat for a rifleman to take birds on the wing and make the head of tho bird the iy toes objective point. Have we so grievously degenerated (or are those tales a myth) that we sing pmans of delight at successiully competing for the hitting of @ bull’s-eye two feet wide, and gaining that only by the mistaken aim of gymnast on nis back, who Shot at a pigeon and killed a erow? Can we not have real rife shooting matches— from the shoulder, rest allowed Over 500 yards, and lime taken into consideration? Some of our gentlemen take long enough to aim for an Indian to reach their scatp before they are ready to fire. 1 thank General Dakin for the manly step he nas | taken 10 this direction, and hope he will follow it up with many more, 1 maintain that in modern warfare instances are very rare and extraordinary where time and Space would suilice Jor rifemen atutudinizing on their back or attitudinizing on their belly. ’ Jn simple good faith [ make these desultory remarks, in the hope of developing a right eéing on the subject. OLD SMALL BORE.

The foot, too, had swollen very considerably; but by dint oi an application prescribe by bis at-* tendant physician some _ relief was ob- tained by hn ge irom the wearying pain.

A Medical Student in Active Practice—A Female Herb Doctor from Hollané—An “Herb Bath” Specialist, &c.—How Many Do They Kill Every Year? | _ The Board of Censors appointed by the Eclectic Medical Society hela tts fourth meeting yesterday at the College Building for the purpose of grant- ing licenses to medical practitioners, It will be remembered that three sucn boards, of which the | above is one, were created by the act “to regulate the practice of medicine and surgery’? which was passed by the last Legislature. ‘Ihe censors for the allopathists and homeopathnists have not yet organized, but those for the cciectics have already issued several licenses to practitioners who were without diplomas. The four male members of the Board, Drs. Van Meyer, Kunze, Archer and Foote Were all present yesterday, and the only one who was absent was Mrs. Dr. Hayden. A letter from the friend of aclairvoyantin Green- which street, Was read, stating that the latter was Geafand requesting that she, therefore, be ex. empt from undergoing an examination. It was resolved to institute inquiries relative to this case, 4 DOCTOR WHO NEVER STUDIED. Dr. A. L. Wright, owner of a Bleecker street drug store in that high-toned thoroughiare, applied for @ license. He said that although he had never gone through a regular course of studies, he had prac« tised, off and on, for the last twenty-five yeara He vegan practising in the country, where no Physician was near, and where his self-acquired knowledge of medicine was sought, Dr. Von Meyer, the President of the Board Vouchsafed for the applicant's ability, who was4ll and had been under bis (the Prestdent’s) medical care himself, In the applicant’s precarious state of health, said Dr. Von Meyer, he would be unable to ever renew his studies, and he recommended that Dr. Wright be granted a license, Dr. Charles N, Archer submitted that such a course would be in violation of the law. Every one of @e members of the Boara might recom. mend some friend in this manner. Dr. Von Meyer moved that Dr, Archer examine the applicant, and this was done. Dr. Archer put to him several questions in regard to the cause and treatment of fevers, He gave as the cause of fever, a clogging of the system, whether this is caused by inhalation, absorption or inocniation. After answering about six or eight general ques. tions, not covering a hundredth part of the range of medical science, Dr. Wright put down $10 and received his license. Dr. Alexander Kettenpeler, who was unable to speak English, produced a diploma of the Univer- sity of Jena, which was found correct. He was passed, A STUDENT IN PRACTICE. Dr. Charlies De Moor, of No. 802 Sixth street, quite a young man, was unable to produce a dip- loma, and confessed that he never finished his studies. However. he intended to vomplete them this winter, and meanwhile he practised as though he were a regular physician, Dr. Von Meyer remarked that if he practised it was “at his own risk,” as he violated tne law in so doing. It is probable that ,’? Charlies De Moor will be cited before a police court on the charge of prace tising without a license or diploma. Mrs. Mary Koss, of No, 332 Second avenue, a Wo- man well advanced in years, said that she did not advertise herself ag @ medical practitiouer. She simply prepared olutments. Dr. Von Meyer said that Mrs, Ross advertised herself in the German papers as a ‘‘doctor.”” Stie had therefore been summoned bejore the Board, aa her cage came under the law. Mrs. Ross saia she made Iiniments, salves, and sold herbs for curing sores. She did not think she had done wrong, as she had the patents ior her lintments and salves. Dr. Foote said she had aright to advertise her saives and liniments, but she had no right to ad- vertise herself as a ‘‘doctress.”” THE DAUGHTER OF A HERB DOCTOR. Mrs. Ross said she was born in Rotterdam, Hol- land, and practised there a3 a midwite. Her fathet was a ‘nerd doctor,” and she had foliowed the business. If tue Board objected (o her using the utle “doctor” she would er itup. Sre had prac tised forty-four years, and her right to do so nad never been questioned. She had the sign “medi. cal office” at her door, but if the Board objected to it she would remove it. Dr. Foote moved that the case be referred ta the President for the proper legal action required by law. The motion was adopied, and the Chair- man told the female herb doctor that she had made | herself liable to a fine o: $500 and tmprisonment | for six months, “Dr.” J. Bangerter, of No, 298 Second avenue, who advertises himself as a “doctor,” said he never went to @ college, but had studied herbs. He could not see why he should not be allowed to “save a man’s Ife.” Hts ‘herb store’? had been a diessing TO THE ENTIRE CITY OF NEW YORK, Dr. Von Meyer said that he would have to show his qualifications, not only a3 a physician, but also asa druggist. He was violating the lai, as be ad- | vertised in the papers as a physician. The case | was relerred to the President, who subsequently stated toa HERALD reporter that Bangerter nad bought the store two weeks ago, and was now ad ministering 1t8 coutents without knowing more about herbs “than the man in the moon.” Dr. Steven C. Todd produced a diploma of the Cincinnati College, @ud the President said. “AU HM you can kill as many people as you please, octor. : “Dr. George Heunhoffer, who has a bathing: establishment at No. 116 Hester street, was also unable to show a diploma. He could not speak English. The President said that bis practice was simply confined to skin diseases, &c., among the cients of his baths. fle used the prescriptions of his father, who was a regular physician, but did notclaim to be a doctor himsell. The case was referred to a special committee ior examination. Monsicor P. R. Levandoosky, irom France, also a practising physician, produced a certiicate irom tne Maire of his native city showing that he had | studied, but not graduated. The President put to him several ener questions in regard to fever, but nearly ail of them might have been answered by anybody who had the slightest smattering OF THE RUDIMENTS OF MEDICINE, The examination was rather funny, as the applt- cant could only speak French, and the examiner’s knowledge of that elegant language was some- what limited, Dr. Kunze was ‘unable to find the French word for “digested,’’ for instance, and the other members of the Board were unabie to help him out of the difficulty. Dr. Von Mever thought the applicaat should pass, but Dr. Kunze, who could get no answers to his questious, objected for awhile, As nothing was to be done in the matter, however, the license was granted to the French: Man, and the Board then adjourned, METROPOLITAN THROAT HQSPITAL, Ata meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Throat Hospital, No. 17 Stuyvesant street, the Medical Superintendent, Dr. Clinton Wagner, stated that during the nine months end ing October 1, 1874, 2,365 patients suffering from affections of the throat and nose were treated, and that 200 were then remaining under treatment, ‘This hospital was incorporated January 3, 1874, and opened for the reception of patients January 6, 1874 1t is the only hespitalin the country de voted to the special treatment of throat affection: and the large numper of persons who have sough! relief attesis ita necessity in our community. ds vice and medicines are furnished gratuitously ta the poor.
