‘8 SHOT IN THE DARK. AN XNOFFENSIVE PARTY SUDDENLY FIRED URON—FOUR MEN WOUNDED—PROBABLY FA~ TAL RESULTS. Howrineron, L. 1, Feb. 4, 1876. ‘The people in this neighborhood were considerably ‘tstonished yesterday morning to hear of a shooting affray ata place called Lloyd’s Neck, about six miles from here, which occurred shortly after midnight, by which four men were wounded and one of them, it is _ thought, fatally. From all the circumstances that have ‘as yet come to light it would appear that the affair was the result of rancorous feeling between two of the Parties to the affray, Oying to the bad state of the roads the full particulars have not as yet beem brought ‘out—that is to say, only one side of the story has been Secured; but from the manner in which;the mystery of the shooting is related by the four men who were 4njured, and from the way in which the facts teld by each of the parties fit in together, there Is every reason. to believe that a wilful murder bas been perpetrated. The injured parties, one and all, appear to bear very good churacters, while on the other band the man who shot them is considered to be of a quarrelsome disposition and given to habits of intemperance. The facts, however, will speak for themselves, It appears that two brothers, named Wilham and Henry Gorman, two respectable laborers, living about two miles from here, had been invited by a man named John Volz, who was a kind of foreman and general overseer on the estate of Mr, N. J. Yates, situated on Lioyd’s Neck, to spend the evening of Thursday with him, «he intending to have a few friends at his house for a little social enjoyment William Gorman, who is about twenty- three years of age, and Henry, two years younger, started from thcir home, where they reside witha widowed mother, whose support they are, shortly after six o'clock, having nearly three miles to walk to Volz’s house. Losing their way in the snow storm they called at the house of a Mr. Brandigee, where they founda young colored man in charge named John Frazier, who is also said by all here to be a man of ex- emplary character. This man volunteered to show the two men to Volz’s house, and they all set out together ‘and safely reached their destination, There they found a young man named Wilham Kennedy, ‘ogether with Volz, his wife and their little son, Tho whole of tho party sat enjoying themselves until midnight, when it was proposed by the Gormans tbat they should return home, Frazier, the colored man, and Kennedy also rose to go, when ene of the party proposed that Volz should seo them on their way and past the Yates mansion, in order to protect them from a savage dog winch was allowed to Foam around loose in the grounds, and by which he was well known. Volz consented and a start was made. All went well until arriving opposite a httle outhouse mear the main building, when the dog suddenly dashed up to the travellers, He was, however, noticéd by Volz, keto him, andthe brute turned about and ay. A second later A REPORT OF A GUN WAS HEARD, coming from the direction of this same outhouse, and William and Henry Gorman fell to the ground, ex- claiming they were shot, Frazier, the colored man, also said he was Int. Volz turned around immediately on hearing the report and saw aman named James Thompson coming from behind the outhouse. He asked Thompson why he had fired, and the only reply he received was the ramming of the muzzle of the gun carried by Thompson into his mouth, badly eutting bis lips and face, Volz then ‘seized Thomp- son, and, in tho struggle which — ensued, wrested ‘the gun from him and — dealt him a blow with it, felling him to the ground Mr. Yates, a brother of the owner, it is said, appeared on the scene at this moment and told Volz ne had better go away. During the struggle between Volz and Thompson Henry Gorman had risen from the ground and Frazier had runa short distance away, as also Kennedy. William Gorman, however, still lay bleed- tng and groaning on the ground. Thompson, who is a gardener employed by Mr. Yates to take care of his house and pleasure grounds surrounding it, now walked away, after excbanging a vast amount of abuso with Volz, and the party who had been fired upon lifted up William Gorman, and proceeded to carry him to Volz’s house. On arriving there it was found that he had received seven or eight No. 2 shot m the head, one of these entering shis eye, one in his cheek, two in his forehead, one in the ear, one in the chin and one in the nose. His brother had received two shots in the neck, while an ‘umbrella he was carrying was fairly riddled. Frazier ‘was shot twice in the nose. Kennedy appears to have escaped uninjured. Dr. Lindsay, of this town, was sent for, and at once proceeded to Volz’s house and @ressed the wounds of the injured men. Those of William Gorman he pronounced would in all prova- Dility prove fatal. Father Crowley was, therefore, sent for and arrived at the house about ball-past nine and administered the last rites of the Catholic religion to the wounded man, including the extreme unction. Father Crowley speaks in the highest terms of the two Drothers Gorman, whom he bas known for many years it as reguiar attendants at hischurch. The Doctor faa enjoined that no one should be allowed to see the wounded man, but from the description given by Father Crowiey of the appearance of the wounds his dition must be something terrible, ‘‘for,’’ said he, ‘the wounds had even then commenced to suppurate, and the room in which he lay was almost intolerable from the odor emitted by them. William Gorman related to me,’’ he said, “all the particu! of the affair, and they agree in every way with what I have above stated.’’ All the wounded persons agreed, when questioned separately, that KOT A WORD WAS SPOKEN BY THOMPSON previous to his firing, and it 1s thought that the shot was intended to reach Volz alone, fof the reason that for some dime past there has been considerable ant- ~mosity existing between him and Thompson on account of the latter being desirous of obtaining the former's position of overseer. It is also said that on several oc- casions Thompson has frequently made charges against Volz to Mr. Yates, accusing him of robbing the estate, and that he has in every way annoyed and harassed Volz, in order to drive him away. Thompson is a man about fifty years of age. and is of violent and envious temper and given to drinking. He js an Englishman by birth, This evening Volz appeared in this village in company with two friends and went to his lawyer, Mr. FE. R Ackerly, who drew up bis affidavit setting fortn all the facts in the case, as also a complaint to take before Justice of the Peace “Chipp, of Oyster Bay, on which to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Thompson. Volz set out with these papers this evening, and presented them to the Jus- tice, who issued the necessary process, with instru tions to the constable to arrest Thompson as early as possible. This will probably be done to-morrow morning. Judge Chipp will also, it ts thought, early to-morrow take the ante-mortem statement of William Gorm: if he should still be alive, The two brothers were removed totheir own home late this afternoon, there they were being attended to and watched by their mother and Mrs, Volz The examination of Thompson willin all probability take place to-morrow Mternoon. THE SIMMONS’ BUTCHERY. WHY FUCHS CUT UP HIS VICTIM'S BoDY—‘' SKIN HIM, I KILL BIM TWIcR,” Yesterday Mr. Patrick Meighan, the keeper of the saloon on North Se¢ond street, near Fourth, at which Kretz or Fuchs, the murderer of Simmons, stayed to take a drink when he was carrying part of his victim's ody to its place of deposit on the fists of Newtown Creek, visited him in jail. Ashe approached the door Krotz beard his voice and saluted him, extending two fingers through the grating at the same time, with “Oh, Pat!’? Mr. Meighan shook the fingers, and abruptly asked “What did you kill that man fo Kretz replied, “Pat, 1 think him play tricks with my swife long time. He play tricks when ho leave me at work and say he go wash. He send me out tor beer, and I come back and catch him, and 1 kill him, God gama dim.” “But,” said Mr. Meighan, “that was no reason that you should cut him up, What did you do that for?” Kretz drew a jong breath, and then witn a touch of his former vivacity, replied, “I skin bim, 1 kil him twice, God damn him.” Fuchs’ despondency at the inquest is atiributed to his forced abstinence from alcoholic stimulants, al- though the inordinate quantity of tobacco he smokes forms some sort of substitute, Detective Short ey transferred the implements ‘@uth which the butchery was accomplished to the Property Clerk at the Police Headquarters. . . It now appears that the upper floor of the rear build- Ing, No. Third street, is occupied by a very quiet family named Bertsch. The writer called there yester- day morning to see what the family knew of the terri- ble Mr. et h said that both himself and wife were home on Thursday night and heard no unusual noise beneath them. He also stated that either on Friday or Saturday morning Mrs. Bertsch saw blood stains on the seat of the closet and complained to bim abeut S. saying it was her turn to clean upand Vike to wash up such stains. Neither of ti more of the stains, and for that reason they did not ‘ay anything about it, THE CASE OF SIOKES, Edward 8.

AMUSEMENTS, TTALIAN OPERA—MLLE. TITIENS. The second performance of “Lucrezia Borgia” last night at the Academy of Music had many points of ex- cellence over its predecessor. The improvement was mainly shown in the subordinate parts, as Mile. Titiens’ interpretation of the rdle of the terrible Duchess of Ferrara is always an admirable work of art. There is a breadth to her voice and acting, a grandeur that brings back memories of those days when the Stage could boast of tral, at people in every line of art, an ease and finis! all that appertains to singing and a degree of tragic power in the histrionic part very rarely found on the operatic In the scene in the ducal palace, when she is obliged to hand the poisoned goblet to Gennaro, her acting was worthy to be placed beside that of Ristori in the drama of “Lacrezia Lorgia.” ‘The words, “Oh! a to bada, a te stesso pon mente Don Alfonso, mio quarto marito,” were fairly bissed forth: with that concen- trated power that marks queen of tragedy. In the last act the genius of Mile. Titiens was again shown in the most resplendent manner, When she thus over- comes the inherent weakness of an opera which repre- sents the trivialities of the modern Italian school with all their puerile effects, and raises it, by her genius, to a positive standard of artistic excellence, Mile. Titiens accomplishes a task that only an artiste of the first rank can effect, To-day she appears for the last time in a matinée of ‘‘Norma.”’ POSTPONEMENT OF THE GERMAN OPERA. Mr. Thomas Arens, husband of Mlle, Pappeheim and manager of the German opera atthe Stadt Theatre, was seized with an alarming illness on Thursday night, | which culminated yestoraay in positive mental aber- ration, The advertised performance of “Der Frei- schiitz’? was consequently postponed until Monday evening. Intense nervous excitement is supposed to be the cause of this sad affliction. Mr, Arens is about twenty-six years of age, and was married to the distin- guished German prima donna about a month ago. ¢ is stopping at the Belvidere House. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. To-night Mr. Montague’s engagement at the Brook- lyn Theatre will close, The season has been quite suc- cessful, The Jast performances of “Married in Haste” will be given #his afternoon and evening. On Monday Mr. Wallack will produce John Brougbam’s play of “John Garth,” for the first time in four years, The benefit of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association at the Academy of Music this evening is fora very worthy object, which should alone obtain the support of the public. The performance is, however, unusually attractive in itself, and Mr. Daly has arranged an ex- cellent programme. Three comedies will be given, in which Mrs. Barney Williams, Miss Lillie Eldridge, Bijou Heron, John H. Bird and other popular artists will appear. ‘The Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the mem- bers of the Senate and Assembly, the Chief Justice, the Associate Judges of the Court of Appeals, the Mayor and the heads of the city and county depart- ments will attend the performance of ‘Julius Cvsar” to-night, and will constitute an, audience of official brilliancy unprecedented in theatrical annals, We can assure Governor Tilden that he will find the river Tiber which runs through this recreated Rome any- thing but a canal fraud, and the members of the Legis- lature that there are no speakers like Messrs. Barrett, Bangs and Davenport in either of their houses. We are sure that Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, Sena- tor Kernan and Mayor Wickham will admit that it is no ordinary pleasure to hear the Shakespearian text read by three such superb artists, and if Chief Justice Church and the Associate Judges should judge differ- ently they would deserve impeachment PIGEON SHOOTING. Two matches, of much interest to the immediate friends of the principals, were decided on the grounds of the Long Island Shooting Club yesterday afternoon. The first match was between Mr. Benjamin W. West and Dr. Talbot for $50 a side, each to shoot at ten double birds, 21 yards rise, 100 yards boundary, H and T traps, and Long Isiand Club rules to govern. This was very close throughout, and was won by Mr. West by one bird onl; The second match was between Mr. S. L. Storer and Mr. Edward Rogers, for $50 side, 25 birds each, 25 yards rise, 80 yards boundary, 1} oz shot, and Long Island rules to govern. Mr, Rogers proved the better down 14 to Mr, Storer’s 11. ibove Warren E. Birds and Ira A. Paine jandicap match of 10 bi each, ‘for the birds.” ‘The latter was placed at 30 yards, while Birds- eye stood at 25 yards. Paine killed 4 and Birdseye 5, A classified: sweepstakes, $3 entrance, 3 birds each, 25 yards rise, & rds boundary, 144 oz. shot and Long island rules to g 1, finished’ the day’s sport, This had ten entries—Me-rs, Wingate, Baylis, Paine, Thomas, Birdseye, West, Beatty, Talbot, Outwater and Ducker. Of these Birdseye, Beatty and Outwater killed their birds. Shooting off the tie Birdseye and Outwater each missed, and Beatty scoring his bird, first money, $15, fell to him, Wingate, Baylis, Paine, Thomas aud West each killed two. When shooting off Baylis, at the end of the second round, was handed $10, second money. Talbot killed one bird and thus won third money, $5. Ducker missed all his birds, SUMMARY.

Rudolphe, was played last night in the parlor attached to the billiard room of the late Chris O'Connor, corner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue. About 150 persons were present, among them ny experts and professionals, There was consid- erable betting outside, Dion being afavorite.

LET THE BALL BE RAISED, To me Eprtor ov tre Herat 1 see by a morning paper that the Commissioners of Parks have (in violation of Jack Frost's commands), ordered that, as the skating season is closed, the waters are to be drawn off forethe purpose of cleaning out the lakes of Central Park. Now, as we who take 80 much dehght, as heretofore, in the healthful exer- cise are to be deprived of the enfoyment, we protest against this action on the part.of the Commis: jow, it is well Known that the Brooklynites ason had skating on the lakes of Prospect Park, and the gentleman superintending them being himself a noted skatist, It is to be presumed that he Enows when ice in those inkes is safe to bear skaters upon their surfaces, Is it because the pond nd lakes in Brook. lyn are four miles nearer the Gal? Stream than Central Park that it is more safe to trust the people upon them? Let the ball be raised. AN OLD SKATIST. GERMAN IN OUR SCHOOLS. DISSATISFACTION AT THE BOARD OF EDUCA- TION—THE LEGISLATURE TO BE APPEALED To, The Central Committee of the German-American In- dependent Citizens’ Association met last evening at Beethoven Hall, Theodore Glaubensklee in the chair Moritz Ellinger, the chairman of the committee ap. pointed to wait upon the Board of Education and nek its members to postpone their decision to exclude the study of the German language from al! but the three highest grades in the public schools, reported that the committee had done #0 on Tuesday last, but that on the following day the Board met and took action excluding German, as has been stated. Mr. Ellinger made a long address, in which he callet upon all the Germans in this city to ‘unite in opposing this action, and, if necessary, to ap- peal to vhe Legislature for relief, Ho said that the ex- clusion of jage was nothing less than a politi- hima, ne Mayor W. knew when ba ag ae the Commissioners they would do just as ey have done. « ‘On motion Se cone was instructed to con- tinue to agitate this question. Justice Otterbourg announced that Oswald Ottendor- fer had decided to accept the position of chairman of the organization. On motion the Executive Committee was increased to fifteen members, after which the meeting adjourned. THE SNOW. HOW DIFFERENTLY IT WAS APPRECIATED UP TOWN AND DOWN—A BOON TO ONE SECTION ; A HORROR TO THE OTHER, Travel on the different horsecar lines was greatly in- terrupted for a time yesterday, but the snow ploughs soon made a passage, and by ‘doubling up” the teams some progress was made, though the number of cars rapping was lessened about one-half. This resulted in an intolerably uncomfortable overloading for the horses—whose fate is first considered by the railroad companies—some extremely unpleasant crowding for the passengers and rather slow locomotion. In some of the crooked reutes such as that of the Bleecker Street Railway, the struggle was an unequal one, On the Third avenue line there was a noteworthy step taken toward alleviating the discomforts of past winters. Formerly most of the unlucky passengers who lived above Sixty-fifth street had to stand up all the way down town, there being no relief afforded at the depot. When the teams were ‘doubled up’? but half the number of cars ran, Yesterday, however, this evil was remedied. Those who paid their fares above the depot received a transfer ticket there if they bad no seat, and found another car ready to start awaiting them. Naturally, there was much satisfac- tion expressed at this needed improvement. ~ Yo general business interests as well as railroad travel the snow of yesterday was a formidable hin- drance. Trucks labored heavily through the accumu. lated masses that choked the narrower streets of the business section. It was only as the observer moved upward toward the Central Park that he might see that the snow was not an unmixed evil; nay, he learned that it was a most welcome boon to a vast number of his fellows, From every side street sleighs freighted with animated pleasure seekers turned into Fifth avenue, through which one continuous stream poured into and through Central Park. There were sleighs of all kinds in the line—sleighs coarse and fine, good and bad, large and small—drawn by horses as varied in quality and kind, and filled by all sorts of people. If ove should ask you what class of people was represented on the road perhaps you would be inclined to say, comprehen- sively, “the comfortable class,’’ for they all seomed to enjoy themselves with a zest that sent the glow of sat- isfaction to their cheeks. Among the turnouts that sped through the Park gates yesterday were some ver fine Russian sleighs, several handsome new style ‘swell bodies’ and ‘every possible variety of the Portland cutter and jumper, with here and there a home made article of the crudest possible manufacture, There were one or two tandem and spiked teams out yesterday. Among the horses there were no! “bad uns to look at, but good uns to go,” sever: viceable roadsters and an occasional nag that, like Mr. Weller’s shaky animal, was chiefly supported by the 8] To say who was out would be no small task. Lawyers and merchants, leaving their offices carly 1n the afternoon, hurried upward to swell the crowd, which, though inmdesty some showy equipages, was rather remarkable tor the absence than attendance of the ultra fashionables, Some notable persons drove their own steppers. The Park itself, aside from the life imparted by this animated throng, presented a beautiful winter picture. Away from the main drives a solemn stillness pre- vailed, The snow lay all untrodden just as it had fallen; it rounded off the pillars and battlements of the bridges; rested like white flowers on the pines and bent down their branches like fruit trees bowing with the weight of an abundant harvest. In through the soli- tudes the tinkle of the never silent sicigh bell went, borne on the clear air, and mingled here and there F with the laughter of romping boys. Some of the statues were robed im white, and a few had placed upon their dignified heads a comical skull cap of snow. As night approachea the number of sletghs increased and the sleighing was all the whilo impreving. Gradually darkness came on, and then the moon commenced to shed its cold light on the colder picture beneath. It has been suggested that if sleighing continues good it would be well to have the bridle path thrown open for the accommoda- tion of sleighing parties. For the information of those who are not fortunate enough to possess their own establishment it may be said that a good sleigh can be hired for a drive about the Park of sufficient duration to satisfy most people tor about $8 or $10. REMOVING THB SNOW, Tho Street Cleaning Committee of the Board of Po- lice determined yesterday afternoon to remove the snow from the thoroughfares most used for travel, and to that end entered into a correspondence with the proprietors of the various stage lines seeking co-opera- tion, It was finally arranged that the department | would undertake to remove the snow trom Broadway between Bowling Green and Fourteenth street; Wall street from Broadway jo the river to_be cleared by the Madison avenue stage company; Fulton street from Broadway to the river by the Fifth avenue stage com- pany. The department subsequently embraced Nassau Street and that portion of Broad street from Wall street to Exchange place in their territory, and Bowlin, Green to South Ferry was assigned to the Twenty-thi street stage company. At 81x o'clock last night the work on Broadway com- menced. The force consisted of 524 laborers, 404 drivers and carts, and sixty foremen and gangmen. It ‘was divided into twenty sections, the orders being to | have all the snow removed by daybreak. Commis- | sioner Voorbis was engnged up to a late hour in per- sonally directing the work. In order to prevent cheating on the part of cartmen, who, being paid by the cart load, oftentimes adopt the plan'of dumping their load in a’ neighboring alley in- stead of taking it to the dock, orders were issued that all persons caught dumping snow, except at the dump- ing piers, be arrested. OBITUARY. MARQUIS CAPPONI. A despatch from Florence yesterday announces the death, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, of Mar- quis Capponi, Tho deceased was born in the city of Florence on the 14th of September, 1792, came of an ilustrious afd noble family, and was the’ son of the Marquis Alexander Joseph Gaspard Capponi. Great care was bestowed on his early education, and for many years his principal instructor was the celebrated antiquary the Abbé Zannoni, Ho improved his mind and studies much by travel in Italy, Germany and France. Birth and family relationship aided him con- pe ee his pursuits, and the friendship of Ferdi- nand IIL, and also that of his son, Leopold IL, for- warded his advancement in his political aspirations. Under Leopold, in 1841, he was made Senator, and after the proclamation of the constitution of 1848 he became Senator, Member of State and President of the Council. In the foliowing years he resolved to give up public affairs, but his sé¢rvices were of such valuc to the State that he was induced to serve his country in some position, and was consequently appointed one of the commission governing Tuscany in the absence of the Grand Duke. He wrote a number of works, and bis contributions to Italian literature are numerous, He contributed a number of articles on Italian Anthology of Florence, which were suppressed in 1832, which were greatly admired and read at the Cruscan Academy, at the @cademie Georgopholis and at the Academie Colombarienne, In addition to these va- rious publications he dictated, after he became blind, ‘an important work under the title of “Fragments on the Subject of Education.” He was also one of the principal editors of the * ‘Historical Archives,” which ‘work was published in Florence.
