6 ~ PILLUMSBURES “TRAGEDY, New Facis as to the Character and Ante- | eedents of Fuehs, the Murderer, WIs FALSE. STATEMENTS. ——e The Testimony of a Brain Suf- fused with Blood. BUTCHERED. DRUGGED AND Simmons’ Funeral with Masonic Rites at Derby. A curious line of inquiry has been started by the de- Yectives relative to the kind of liquor that was drank ‘by the murderer Fuchs and his victim, Simmons, be. ‘foro the commission of the murder, Mrs, Fac told an officer on Monday that her hus- band made his own brandy out of alcohol, ana a bottle of pure alcohol was foumd in the room wherein Simmons was killed. Other bottles, containing a liquor smelling and tasting somewhat like brandy, were also | found, and, as the spirit was fiery to the tongue, the supposition is that Fuchs, alias Krotz, used some of | his knowledgo of the secrots of the Alsace vineyards | ‘am preparing a liquor that was strong and che@y. But what the detectives are anxious to discover is whether the prisoner drank any or much of this home- made brandy, or did ne stupefy his victim with itand | ‘the beer served out, in order the better to accomplish | Ris hellish work. From the conduct of the wife aud the prisoner during Sunday and Monday it is quite clear that they had drank a good deal of the alcohol-vrandy, | for thoy were stupid at times and wild at others, Tho prisoner in his statement to a Henan reporter, which twas published yesterday, asserted that when ho | went to bed on the night of the murder, | Ieaving the body of S ns on the floor, ho could not go to sleep, and the inference is that he did j Mot drink the strong liquor which, according to the | wife’s story, was made for and used by the” guests From the autopsy of the head of Simmons the | alone doctors are lod to believe that the victim not only | @rauk the strong liquor, but that he took | a strong drug, probably a narcotic ‘Tho data from which this deduction is made is the condi- tions exhibited by the brain of Simmons, on which much effort was expended by the depaty coroner. This being the only part of the murdered man which wetained ntegrity, it was natural that a searching | Mnvestigation of its condition should be made. The | autopsy revealed a brain suffused with blood, which gave riso to the conclusion that Simmons was first @rugged and then slain. The characteristics of tho Drain aro such as might be looked for in the condition of a man who had been stupefied with a | powerful narcotic, Whatthe drag is no one knows, | and Fuchs, who seems honest enough in his other statemonts, denies that be administered any drug. Though ho acknowledges that be did the murder he stoutly maintains that he discovered Simmons and his wife in flagrante delictu. The little daughter denies this; for she has said that her father took Simmons by the collar when he was sitting | 4m a chair and threw him prone on the floor and then went for the axe and dealt him the fatal blow. The | shild’s story is inall probability the correct one, for | abe has no object in misstating the case, while Fuchs has made misstatements for which there appears to be Bo provocation. PUCHS’ MISTATEMENTS. ‘There appears to be little doubt that in his confession | to the reporter of the Heap on Monday evening | Fuchs has been guilty of several misstatements re- | Specting his previous bistery. His story that he was | slieutenant in the Third regiment of French hussara 4s not at all compatible with the ignorant condition | of the man. In spite of tho great Napoleon’s maxim | that “every private soldier in the French army carries | ‘@ marsbal’s baton in his knapsack,” Fuchs is not the kind of man who could hope to be even a lieutenant, as he said he was, at Bellefort Another fact which militates against this statement 1s his only being able | to speak an execrable French patois From informa. | tion received yesterday, he is not from Colmar, but from a placo called Nieder sulze, which is about eight miles from Colmar. The evident object of Fuchs in telling these stories is Wo send inquirers off on the wrong trail. In yester- day’s HrRavp the offorts of the munerer to destroy all syidence, writing, &c., which would in any way lead to the discovery of his conneetions in Enrope was dwelt Bwpon at some length, The opinion expressed that the man had a history which he jealously guarded from even his most intimate friends, is now strengthened by the impeachment of several of his as- sertions On investigation it may prove that he has | minister of the Catholic Church. ‘THY MURDERED MAN’S MEMORY. It is stated on good anthority that Mrs, Fachs, although denying any criminal intimacy with Sim- mons, acknowledges that the murdered man, on the | aight of the tragedy, asked her for a kiss, which she re- | fused him, saying at tho time that sho never Rissed any man. Simmons after making the pro Position looked over to where Fuchs was sitting and | askod—evidently thinking the presence of the husband foterrea her—if he had any objection. Fuchs, accord. | Ing to his wifo’s story, said he had none, and smiled a | forced smile. Simmons had too much liquor taken to motico the fecling expressed in the face of tho husband, but Mrs. Fuchs says her husband, though be said he had no particular objection, looked very much displeased, and when Simmons’ Bead was turned be scowied darkly at her. This incident may have erystalized in the mind of Fuchs the half formed inten- tion of being revenged on Simmons for former real or fancied. In fact, this may have been the only indication he ever received regarding his | wife’s intimacy with Simmons; and when he heard him ask for a kiss ail the suspicion and jealousy of his ature were aroused, with what dreadful effect the world already knows. 1 PREPARING POR THE INQUEST. | Yesterday the police were busily engaged aiding the Coroner, iv charge of the investigation, to secure all | the evidence necessary to fix upon the butcher of Sim- | mons the proof of ins guilt, aud to sift and arrange it for the inquest which is to be commenced to-morrow. | ‘The evidence, in addition tu that already presented to | ‘the readers of the Heratp includes that of Herbert | Simmons and Mrs. Garrett Fitzsimmons who saw | Fuchs at different places onthe route between his resi- | @ence and the nook where he hid the head ; of men | who bad worked with Fuchs at various times, the Jandlady of the premises he occupied to whom he paid | two months’ rent in . « turday, and of others to show that he was i for money a few days previous.

Blake- man, the Deputy Sheriff of New Haven county, Con- necticut, who lad been in Williamsburg working up tho case in behalf ot the friends of the deceased, and told him of the fact that the body had been sent to the depot instead of waiting his order. Instantly there were hurried preparations for departure, Carriages were procured and at half-past six o'clock the friends moved from the Fifth precinct, There were Mr. Jones and | his wife, the former being the empioyer of Mr. Sim- mons; Mrs, Ackerman, with whom Simmons bad boarded for several years, Mr, Blakeman, the detective, and the Heraup reporter. Through the gloom of early the carriages with the friends passed over Houston street ferry and drove rapidly to the depot. ‘There the body was found in its oaken casket, Beside it was the tronk contain- ing the wardrobe of the deceased, Both were placed in the baggage car, Every one on the train knew that the body of the murdered Simmons was with them,’ and a solemn stillness was observed among the passengers as if the moving train was but a fun march, At Bridgeport the body was Aerred to the Derby train, and, ‘on its arrival ‘at that town it was met by the Worshipful Master andbrotners of King Hiram Lodge, F, and A M.

M. thg residence of the family of the deceased was de jy filled with the representatives of the leading families of Birmingham and Derby, Conn., who had known Mr. Simmons during his residence in their midst, The Henanv reperter learned that Mr. Simmons came to Derby about six years ago, and from that time until July “last had ‘charge of the trip hammer in the Atwater & Elm iron works in Birmingtiam, just across the Housatonic River, that flows past Derby. Then in July the works shut down to half time, and Simmons caine to Williamsburg. At two P.

THE DEER PARK HORROR. THE BURNING OF THE HOUSE AND POUR PEO- PLE ON LONG ISLAXD STILL UNEXPLAINED— ARSON AND MURDER THOUGHT TO BE THE -BOLUTION, Banyios, I. 1, Feb. 1, 1876. ‘The mystery surrounding the burning of the house near Deor Park and the finding among the débris the charred remains of the owner, “Hoyle” Skidmore, and the three other inmates of the house at present, remains unsolved. The horrible affair continues to form the only topic of conversation on the part of ail people in this vicinity. Skidmores and that of Wright do not hesitate to say | that the death of the unfortunate inmates of the houso was brought about by foul play, and that the firing of the building was the work of an incendiary. The house stood a little distance back from the road cut through the brush, which is but just wide enough fora wagon to pass. It had a foundation of brick built upone story. Above this were two stories of wood, The only fire that was burning at the time the girl Maud Taylor and the laborer Terrell left the house, on Sunday night at eight o'clock, was that on the hearth, and it ts diil- cult to ynderstand how this could have’ set fire to tho building, as both the man and the girl agree that the | fire was nearly out The fact, too, that the front stoop | was on fire before the upper floors gave way 13. a sus. picions circumstance that requires examination, » The Both wero there subjected to severe questioning, but their story of the affair remained about as already published, This hut is A MISERABLE RABITATION, directly facing the Skidmore house, 100 yards off, made by laying pine trees slanting from the ground to form a roof, which is covered with earth and sods, The ground. below has been dug out to form a room. In this wretched mud hole, which is but about ten feet by fourteen, lives Hegeman, now sick on his bed, his wife and four children. it now also shelters Terrell and Maud Taylor, Terrell, when again interrogated to-day, maintains that when he first saw the fire he noticed that the sioop was ail in a blaze, as also the staircase ivside, and that before he could get to the house the upper stories fell in. A north- northeast wind was . blowing at the time, which makes it apparent that the firo must have burned against the wind. The kitchen tireplace wes on the east side of the house, so that, had the fire been started trom there, it must have burned straight across. the house to where the stairs were on the west and north sides, These circumstances were fully discussod ly all who visited the spo’ d the general opinion ex- pressed was that if murder and arson were not com- mitted, in addition perhaps to robbery, at least the ime of arson was. Terrell stated that he had, about » hour before the fire was noticed, heard a wagon: as by, bat did not look: out to see it, towwithstanding the fact that such an occur- 4 never known to’ happen before. soon as daylight set in, ho says, he of this wagon back to Deer Par! wuere he jost them. He did not follow the traces o| tho wagon, which he judged to be a heavy farm wagon drawn by two horses, in the direction in which it went, Inquiries at Deer Park failto throw any light on this matter, and one party, who left Deer Park as soon as the fire bad been reported, denies that any tracks were visible at ail, The charred rema of the four unfortunates aro | still in the barn, LAID OUT ON oons, The Coroner, Dr. Preston, visited the spot to-day and subpepaed a number of witnesses to attend the inquest to-morrow, David and Carl Skidmore, the son$ of the dead man, were alfo on the ground, but did not seem incline to talk, and in answer to every question professed entire ignorance as to how the disaster had occurred, Several of the friends and relatives of Skidmore called on tho | insarance agent here again to-day, auxiously inquiring about the insurance money.

Tho sister and brother of the murdered girl, who are first cousins of Pesach Rubefistein, were aiso mn attendance, OPENING POR THE PROPLE, District Attorney Britton, on opening the case for the people, dwelt briefly upop the responsibilities of the duty which devolved upon the jury and himself in their relation to society in this trial. _ It is, he said, for pass upon the questions of law, but the jury alone have the responsibility of the result, It is for the jury to say whether this man is guilty or innocent. Society demands for its protection that crime shail be punished, and they were there to setile whether crime had been committed, and if it had to punish the criminal. The prisoner was born in Russia, somewhere on the confines | of Poland, and came to this country five or six years | ago. Sara Alexander, the deceased, was young and camo to New York three years ago from "the | prisoner’s native place. She was his consin | and lived in Essex street. He lived in Bayard street | and they were very intimate, On December 12 the | prisonef left his father’s house about four o'clock in | the afternoon. It was Sunday. | same house. They would be able to show that the de- ceased and the prisoner crossed over to Brooklyn and took the cars to East New York, and when within a | quarter of a mile of the place where the body was found they got off and went to the spot where the most brutal of murders was committed. Tne body remained Tucsday, when it was discoyered and taken in charge vy the Coroner, Probably no eye but the eye of Om- niscience looked upon the commission of that deed; bat the circumstances will be so clear that no oye wit- ness could more clearly point to the criminal than do society may be accorded protection and that justice, may be done. The counsel for the prisoner are learned and his defence is able; 50 that. if convicted, no one can complain of injustice. But tho Jaw is no respecter of persons. Treat him with all tho consiaeration that you would one of your own, ‘In conclusion Mr, Britton urged them to carefully examine and consider the testimony on both sides inall its bearings, “and then, under the charge of the Court, render such a ver- dict as your consciences will approve, and then no person Will be dissatised with you.” testilied that he lived with Diedrich Wessell, East New York; is a farm laborer; on December 14 he found the body of a woman ma cornfield, on the ground, behind a stack of corn; these ‘stacks were ‘at tho | lower end of the field, near the fence, the farthest off from? the plank road; there Was a shawi | lying by the side of the body; the corpse was about two feet from the base of the corn stack; the body lay | on the back and was all cut about the neck; witness | went and informed Mr. Wessell, who, in company | with two other men, went and viewed it, | _ On the cross-examination witness said he did not go nearer than four feet to the body; there are about twenty-five acres in the lot, but two acres of which | were planted with corn; didn’t see any tracks of men there; it was a very clear night, on Sunday, December 12; there was a slight fall of suow on Monday night, | and the ground was partly covered; Tucsday, when | the body was found, it was clear and cold; the body was frozen to the ground, Diedrich Wessell testified that when Segellern told him of the body he went to the place indicated and viewed | it; the corpse was 400 feet irom the road; it lay along- siae the corn stack—about one foot—the head to the | wost; witness pulled down the clothes, which were up ja time, and then reported the discovery to the olice. eros the crdss-examination witness said the place where the body lay in the field was a block anda half from his house; she was a dark complexioned person; the face was black with blood; did not look for wacks | about the place; the day was about haif warm and half | Cold; the clothes were up about her w: ; Sbe had no | drawers—nothing but stockings; her clothes were not otherwise disarranged; her gh t hand was raised above her head; did not notice how her hands were cut; on Sunday atternoon, December 12, witness went down | the road with his wife and left his daughter at home; he returned about half-past seven o'clock in the even: a shad never seen deceased before he found her | body.

Witness said he had found persons who were in the car with the prisoner and deceased on Sunday night, December 12, and brought them to the jail to observe Rubenstein, District Attorney Briton objected to the witness | giving the names of the persons who rode in the car with deceased and the prisoner on that night, ag it en- ables the defence to tamper with the witnesses for the | people, They should not give the names and addresses inadvance. Great efforts had, he thought, been made by the defence to obtain witnesses to testify to that | which is not true, not by the counsel, but by others, At this stage it would be unjust to give the names of those witnesses, Mr. Beach retorted warmly to the aspersion sought to be cast upon the defence in alleging the design to tamper with the witnesses; but they wanted to know what the method of attack of the prosecution was that in justice they might defend their cent, The District Attorney replied, making the point that the defence had no right, i the early preliminaries of this trial, to seck to obtain from the prosecution the disclosure of the names and residence of the witnesses and what they propose to testify. Judge Pratt said that it was Scamely right that the defence should seek to obtain the names and residences of the witnesses whom the prosecution propose to call, | ‘The witness on the siand may give the names of thoso persons who were taken to the jail and fuiled to idon- | ufy Rubenstein. | Mr. Beach said they proposed to show that the wit | ness had tampered with these witnesses, and that was material. | _ Witness said he took Christina Walters vo the jail; Louisa Kerr, of No. 158 Second street; New York, | was taken by witness to the jail, bat she did not recog- | nize him. District Attorney Britton agreed, finally, to tarnish the names and residences of ail the witnesses during | the day, which promise was satisfactory to Mr. Beach, Witness, on resuming, stated that be had talked with Miss Kerr three times tor the purpose of refreshing her | recollection as to having scen Rubenstem on the car; had tak nobody else to the jail who had failed to | recognize him. | Re-direct—Asked the father of the prisoner if he was | angry because he was cool with me when | entered the | storé; in the conversation with Pesach Rubenstein, at Police Headquarters, bis unswers were consecutive; had frequently heard him speak in Englisn; when the alleged threats were made I told them that if any man | in New York attempted to come over here to swear false {or money that the Court would take him in hand; that was the ony threat ever made, | Officer Herbert recalled—There was nothing in the way of wcovering for the head found with the body. THE POST-MORTEM, | . Dr. A. Warner Shepard testified that for ten years past | he-had held al! the post-mortems in the Western District, | Brooklyn; in company with Dra Nesbitt, Colton, | Brady and others made the post-mortem oxami- nation on the body of Sara Alexander at | the Morgue The doctor here described the nature of the cuts on the throat and hands. The inter- | nal organs were healthy; the womb was distended by regnancy, and a child five months advanced in uterine fite was removed therefrom; the body was five feet threo inches in length and was well developed, though | of petite build; the doctors discussed the matter as to | the direction from which the blows were givon and | formed an opmion, Mr. Beach objected to witness giving that opinion. District Attorney Britton cited authorities in favor of the admission of the surgeon's opinion upon the direc- | tion from which the blows were dealt, He then put the question as to whether the blows were dealt from right to left or left to right. Witness—From left to right with reference to the de- ccased; the instrument which inflicted these wounds | was, in our opinion, drawn from tho left to right, By Mr. Beach—Found in the stomach some vegeta- Die matter, could not with @ certainty judge it to be cabbage; should judge deceased to have been about twonty years of age; the child was alive before the mother died; the knee was slightly scratched; it was thought from the appearance of the body that she had struggled on ber knees; she was strong for a person of her size; saw Rubensteim in the jail shortly after his arrest; he was prostrated from a nervous shock; about | three weeks ago a tooth was extracted by witness from | the prisoner; had found also that the prisoner com- plained of Hemorrhage, but failed to detect any tuber- cular derangement; whenever be had seen the prisoner the latter appeared to be suffering from debility ; should say the prisoner is feeble and prostraied, but could not tell the cause of it; it could not be definitely said whether there had ever been any prior conception by the deceased girl. ‘ Ex-Sergeant Frost, of the Brooklyn Detective squad, testified that he was present when Officer Zundt | Drought m the prisoner Rubenstein on December 15; made a memorandum of what the prisoner then said, as interpreted to witness by Zundt ‘The District Attorney read the memorandum, which set forth the movements of Rubenstein on Sunday, | December 12, as before stated, By Mr. Beach—Wrote down the answers as well as he could understand them; the prisoner spoke fre- ‘quently in broken English; didn’t suppose the inter- preter gave the exact but he gave it as near as be could. Patrolman Thomas Clifford, of East New York, testi- fied that he saw the body at the station house, and noticed that the shoes on the feet of deceased wero | very muddy ; the shoes shown are the same; the dirt is the'saine that is on them now; the boots were taken off Rubenstein by Detective Powers, on the evening of December 15, at the First precinct station house; the boots taken from him are the same shown now; there was more mud on them then than there now; the mud on the boots was a little darker tha the earth on the shoes; there were spots on the boots that looked «hike blood; the largest spot was larger a little than a three cent'piece and a little ragged at the edge (witness: pointed outa spot on the right boot); there was a spot ‘on the left foot boot, which Professor Eaton cut out; | procured some soil from a place rigtt near the corn slack and gave the specimen to Professor Eaton; the soil exhibited is the same; on the afternoon of De- cember 15, in company with Officer Newman, made an examination of the field, and found the track of a woman and a man where they got over the fence. Witness examined the di and designated thereon the course of the footprints, Tho footprints were in a direct line for 300 feet south, and there the woman’s tracks were found on the left of the mar; the footprints were plain, as the ground had frozen after they were made; around the corn stack it ‘was trodden a good deal; on the 16th the boots wera fitted by Detective Falk and witness to the footprints; they fitted exactly; the sole was cracked, or patched, and the print at the rear of the boot heel larger than in front; the shoes also fitted; was present when Profes- sor Eaton took a little substance from the sole of the hee saw hum also take some yellow mud from the ee By Mr. Beach—On Thursday, when witness went to the fleld, the ground was just a little softened on the surface; there was a on the right toot boot which made a seam; it snowed on Monday night, but very ittle; the patch on the boot was on inside of he track; the imprint of the patch was not as percept- bie of Thursday as on Tuesday, ‘The boots were shown the jury, by consent of the District Attorney, and were handed from one to the other and closely examined, ‘Witness said it seemed as if the toe of the boot on the outside didn’t touch the ground; up near the fence the whole imprint of the boot, inside and outside, was ob- tained; the patch on the right foot boot was the smallest of the two; noticed the wearing of the heel because the imprint in the soil was not so deep; wit- ress said he had been three years on the police; had only been busy on the case about three days. To District Attorney—Noticed yellow mud on the in- ide too of the left boot, and in the centre, between the sole and heel THE ROOTS AND SHOES PIT PERFECTLY, Detective William H. Falk, who accompanied Officer Clifford to the corn field, on’ December 16, to examine tho footprints, testified that there was mud in the crevices of the boots of the prisoner about the same as there was on the shoes; saw a line of tracks leading from the plank road to the corn stack; vw 4 were plainest between the fence aud a road why runs across the field; witness laid the boots and shoes in the tracks; found the imprint of a large foot, right and left, and found an impress corresponding with the boots; the boots fitted the tracks perfectly, right and left; alongside the boot tracks wero the shoe tracks; saw other tracks about the fleld near the road; there is ‘no fence between the Jamaica plank road and the place where the body was found; the condition of the ground the day witness examined the tracks was soft; thero ‘was a good deal of mud on the upper part of the heels in the crevices of tho boots; noticed spots like a sticky substance on the boots; took the boots round to Pro- fessor Eaton and took soil from them; was the same in appearance as was found on the shoes of the woman. y Mr. Mott—Did not say that he found a full, com- plete and perfect track of these boots; the walls of the tracks bad not washed in; did say that he found the full length imprint, but did not find a finely cut and pointed ono; it was twenty-five feet away from the fence before any full prints were found; that was abor ten feet from the road that ran through the feld; it ‘was quite a warm day and was muddy; did not removo ‘the mud from the boots after placing them in the im- prints in the field; bat very little mud adhered to them; in one of the tracks, at the place’where the heel - sunk in, there was spow. At this point, it belt arter past three, and the Court having been in for five hours and @ quar- ter, it adjourred tiil this morning. PUBLIG SCHOOL SCANDAL, Education at Jersey City has been set down for to-day in the Court of Quarter Sessions, The principal wit: THE JOHNSON SHOOTING MYSTERY. SEVERAL WITNESSES EXAMINED—A VERDICT PROBABLE TO-DAY. Tho inquest into the cause of the death of Mr. John Johnson, of Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, was resumed yesterday, Mrs. Honora Meade, who attended Mr. Johnson as nurse after he was wounded, testified to | having noticed bruises like finger marks on the fore- head of deceased, A butcher, named Gustave Wassner, testified that on the morning of the shooting he heard a shot fred, and | saw two young men standing on the corner of Throop avenue and Lafayette, but he could give no further description of the men than that one was tall end the | other short, H. P, Wilson, who owned a large dog, | which was in the lot the highwaymen were sald to have crossed after the shooting, testitied that the J ‘animal made no outery. Jobn Smith, a partner of the deceased, testified to | having found a piece of wrapping paper’ bearing the imprint of the pistol found on the sidewalk, January 3, in Mr. Johnsow'e shop. | A baker named Henry Colyer testified that ile | serving bread in the vicinity of the shooting at six o’clock on the morning of the occurrence he say a tall | anda short man jump hurriedly over the fence into | Kosciusko street and run away; the men were about | fourteen feet distant from him, Officers Goodwin and Mills had seen nothing of these | men, though they were in a position to come across them had they been fleeing in the direction indicated. Dr. A. W. Shepard, who made the post mortem, tes- tified that the ball had strack Mr. Jonson's heart and indented it, but the pulsations of that organ were power- ful enough to give it another direction downward; wit- | ness had never known such a circumstance to happen | previously without causing instant death. Captain McLoughlin, of the Ninth precinct, testified | that he could obtain no trace of any suspicious charac- ters in the vicinity of Mr, Johnason’s Louse on the morntng of January 3 WHO SHOT MIKE FARRELL? ‘Willian Sheehan was arrested yesterday alternoon on charge of shooting Michael Farrell in the liquor | store No. 143 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, Sheehan, who is a bartender in the store mentioned, states that Farrell was making a disturbance in the store and he | took a small club to drive him out, Farrell threw him over achair, Soon after the scuille he was taken into custody and was brought before Farrell, who gaid:—“Billy, I forgive you,” The prisoner says there | were no shots fired at all The seven barrels of the istol, which was behind the bar at the time, are all ed. Dr, Griifin, who was summoned to utiend the injured man, said that Farrell was shot in the head and | he considers the wound dangerous, Patrick Simmons, who was in the store when the scuffle occurred, says bedded that there were no shots dred. Others con- rm the statement, HIS WANDERINGS ENDED. The body ofthe man who shot himself in the head | last Monday morning, and was found in a wagon at No, | 1,517 Broadway, was recognized at the Morgue yester- | day morning by his wife as that of Anthouy Miller, of No, 644 East Eleventh strect, The deceased was a native of Germany, thirty-five years old, aud a tin- smith,” Being out of employment, he lbit home three | months ago to look for work, and as he passed out of the house remarked to his wife that if he was unsuc- cesstul he would kill himself, From that time she had | notseen nor heard from him, He leaves two chiltwen, Nothing has been heard of the gir! who, upon seeing | Miller’s body in the station house, cried ‘out, “That is | my brother,’’ and ran away. THE LOST HARVEST? QUEEN. ‘Tho President of a prominent insurance company in- | terested in the loss of the Harvest Queen made the following statement to a Henao reporter yesterda; “I see by ao Heratp cable despatch that spars had washed ashore at Wexford, Ireland, on the 11th of January, supposed to have belonged to the Harvest Queen, with ‘two pieces of a steamer’s bridge.’ I be lieve this statement about the briage belonging to a steamer is an incorrect one, as the Harvest Queen had abridge running from the poop deck to the fore deck- house, Iam consequently of the belief that the piece: of the bridge belonged to no steamer, but to the Har- vest Queen, as all the jetsam appears to have been found together. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. Had a thunderbolt fallen on the Inspectors of the Custom House they could not have been more aston- ished than they were yesterday by learning that the Secretary of the Treasury had ordered the release of the $8,000 worth of goods seized from Mason Hirsch, on the steamship Russia, at the Cunard dock, on the 17th of last month. The release was ordered on the ground, that thero was no attempt at fraud. {t was said that’ this decision gives passengers full permission to make false declarations of their baggage for the future, Hirsch, it may be remembered, took his Custom House oath that he had only $60 worth of dutt merchan- dise in his trunks, and made two efforts to bribe with $30 and $100 two well known Custom House in- spectors. These officers testified to Special Treasury Agent Tingle, at the Astor House lately, as to the at- tempts made to suborn them. THE CONCERT SALOON KEEPERS. The concert saloon keepers of this city had a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Germania Assembly Rooms, Bowery, to protest against the enforcement of the act of 1862, which they say was directed against a class of concert saloons in which were walter girls, aud into which soldiers and sailors during the war times were inducea to enter, wherein the unsophisticated warriors Gnd others were repeatedly robbed and maltreated. John H. Casey called the meeting to order, and Btated that its object was to consider ways and means to either get the obnoxious law of 1862 repealed or to obtain Rave from the Police Department to | continue their business as heretofore, The con- | cert saloon keepers pay a theatrical license of $500 per apnom, as mach as any regular theatre in the city, and, in addition to this, $75 excise license. At Gilmore's | late concerts in the Hippodrome, and at Theodore Thomas’ Garden, liquors were openly sold, and when this fact was brought under the notice of the police authorities they made the distinction that these two places were conducted on a large scale, thus leaving it to be inferred that the mere fact of a man's possessing capital constituted his right to set the law at deflance. lajor George W. Sauer, of the Germania Assembly Rooms, said he had been with a committee to sce ‘Mayor Wickham, but was unsuccessful in obtaining x modification of the recent police order. committee of seven was appointed to co-operate | with counsel and take such proceedings as would bring about a repeal of the obnoxious law, or procure a re- vocation of the late police order. RETRENCHMENT IN BROOKLYN. The investigation of the various city departments ‘was continued yesterday by the Aldermanic Commit- | ‘tee, in the Brooklyn City Hall, and a large’ amount of testimony and many suggestions were received. Mr, F. G. French, who supplies coal by contract to the poor | of the First and Second districts, was summoned before the Supply Committee of the Board of Supervisors to answer the charges with reference to the complaints of short weight made against him. Mr. French said that there was only one definite complamt against him, A SS was appointed to investigate the arge. THE PROGRESS OF JOURNALISM.
