A PHYSICIAN’S DEATH. DR, FISHER’S SUDDEN DECEASE—POSSIDLY THE RESULT OF A DRUG CLEB: MISTAKE. Dr. Frank W. Fisher, a well known physician, re- siding at No. 49 South Washington square, on Friday night called at a drug store on his way home, and, boing in ill-health, he bad a prescription made up for himself, which was to contain two drops of tincture of acopite and two drops of tincture of digitalis, Yester- day morning he was suddenly taken ill, and expressed @ belief that tbe drug clerk had inade a mistake in tho prescription and had put in ten drops of the tincture of breathing heavily. sented to be one of poisoning by aconite, but Dr. Clark failed to discover the symptoms peculiar tout, However he administered tbe peaer antidotes and called in Dr. Knox to consult with bitn, but tho patient sank raptdly, acd a little alter nine o ‘clock he | expired. Owing to 'the peculiarity of the case Dr. Clark thought he was not at liberty to give & certificate of death, and notified the Coroner, A post mortem cx- | amimation was to have been held yes ‘day atternoon, | but was postponed till ten o'clock to. ’ Drs. Clark and Knox say that in their opinion Dr. Fisher died trom a complication of diseases of the heart and kidneys, and believe that even bad he been given ten drops of aconite such a quantity wos not likely to prove fatal.

He formerly resided at the Grand Central Hotel, and be wilt be remembered as the physician who attended James Fisk, Jr., when he was shot and remained with bita till his death, THE MORTALITY IN 1876. TENEMENT SLAUGHTER PENS—THE BOARD OF HEALTH FIGHTING FOR THE CHILDREN’S LIVES. ‘The annual report of the Board of Health, in so tar as it relates to the vital statistics for 1876, has some features that are worthy of public consideration. The first 18 that 14,208 children under five years of age dicd 1m this city during the year, This is a startling ex- hibit when it is known that the most careful computa- tion gives the number of children in New York, In 1876, under five years old, as 130,000, Of thgeo 110 io every thousand died. The heated tern swept off a great proportion of infants, and, according to Professor Chandler, the adulterated wilk, agumst the venders of which he waged such a determined war, had agreat deal todo with it. The struggles of the Board of Heulth m bebalf of the lite people since its creation in 1867 may be comprehended by tho following figures, furnished by Protessor Chandler yesterday :— nu that year the deaths among children under five years winounted to no less than 53 per cent of the | total mortality of the year, Es yeur since then the percentige has decreased, until 1 1575 it wis 4544. ‘This represents, Professor Chandler says, assuming | that the death ‘rate of pereons over five has not diminished since 1887, a saving of the lives of 2,950 children in 1875, There are 28 cases of severe iliness for every death, represonting a saving of 82,000 cases of this sort in L Last year the infant mortality, owing to the remarkably Heated terin, ran up to 48% per cent of the year’s total, ‘Another important feature of this part of the annual report is that ubout one-balf the people who died lived im tenement houses, ‘Tbe deaths in tenement houses were 5227 of the total mortality last year; thoso in other residences, 31.41; in public iustitutions, 16,32, | The deaths awong the denizens of teuement houses, | either at their residences or in institutions, were twice as great us those amorg people who are properly housed.

THE LATE STORM. DISTRESSED CRAFT ER COVER IN MUDA—SUFFERING SAILORS—HUNGER OVER- COMES TASTF. Vessels in distress, dismantied ond with crewsina | terrible state of exbaustlon, have been arriving almost daily in Bermuda, At St. Georges, by lutest advices, there were thirty-one crippic’ craft, and in the city of Hamilton there were threo disaDied ships awaiting re- | pairs, before venturing again to sail for their destina- tions. Ono of these, the schooner George Stapus, bound from Brunswick, Ga., to New York, with a cargo of lumber, after battling hardly against wind and waves and tne most terrible weather generally she ever ex. | perieuced for thirty-nine days, bore up jor Bermuda, Where she arrived on Januury 10 with sails split to Tibbons and the veesei proper seriously injured, For ten dazs before reaching a baven of comparative salety the captain and crew oi five meu were compelied 10 subsist On what rats could be found and killed tu the | hold of the schooner, togetber with flaxseed taken | {rom-the medicine chest.

RAIDING ROOKED,” THE Colonel Costar, Collector of the Fourth district, hay- ing obtained toformation some time ago that a still of about two bundred gallons’ capacity was actively run- bing in West Thirty-sixth street, detailed Chief Deputy Collector Colonel Lawrence Beatty and Deputy Col- lectors Shiclds and Syduey Yeomans to muke a, descent upon the place and not only to arrest every persop {ouod on the premises, but also to capture | for aysistance. The anoual meeting of¥he Swiss Benevolent Society | was beld last evening at Mouquin’s French restaurant, | in Fulton street, Tho proceedings opened with the ad- | dross of the president, in which he stated that the so- BER- | ciety was in u most flourishing condition and had fair prospects of continuing for many years the good it had | done in the past. The treasurer’s report was then read, trom which it appeared that in 1875 they had re- | coived from various sources $7,203 97, including $450 | trom the Excise Board of the city, and had | expended $1,684, distributed to appticants from 619 families, $687 tur meals and todgings and $1,300 49 tor bread, coal, medicine and other necessaries for tbe Swiss poor. The report having been approved, tho meeting then proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year. The result of the balloting was as follows:—President, Mr. Joun KE. Ieelin; Vice Presidents, Messrs. Molo, Perrelet and Wydler; Treasurer, Mr. A.

ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL OVER THE ORDER YOR ‘THE APPOINTMENT OF A RBEFEZREE—THE RECEIVER SEEKING FOR TIME TO PREPARE HIS REPORT. : The matter of the application of the counsel for Stephen English, a policy holder in the Continental Life Insurance Company, tor the appointmentof a referee to review the acts of Receiver J. J. Anderson, of that corporation, came up yesterday forenoon in who Kings County Supreme Court, before Judge Pratt, in pursuance of the decision of the Court directing the makng of an order in accordance with application. Ex Judge Fullerton and | Mr. Hill appeared as counsel for the receiver, Raphaol Moses for Stephen English and General B, F. Tracy for fifty other policy holders in the unfortu: | pany. From the drift of the argument it soon became apparent that the fight of the corporation, now so un- backed by public sentiment, was for time. The counsel for receivor asked that they might be given till Monday to prepare their objection to the order sought for by Mr. Eng- Uish’s counsel, Judge Pratt said he would give counsel until the afternoon to send in their suggestions on | paper. E£x-Judge Fullerton said that there seemed to be no desire to impute improper motives to the re- ceiver for the company, and they were entitled to a reference under the decision of His Honor, * Mr. Moses said that the reference ho sought was a separate one; {bat it was simply ag to the money demaud upon the order. Ex-Judge Fullerton said they supposed the order was to investigate as to the woneys recervpd and the acts doue by the receiver, Judge Pratt remarked that the dritt of the argument was that there were 20,000 policy | holders m the Conunental Life \uvurance Company who are all anxious to see What moneys aro collected and where this money goes. He supposed it had no reference ‘to the gaiety of the fund, Ex-Judge Fullerton said that when the receiver made bis report it would state overy dolar received and every dollar paid out, Mr. Mose: suid that under the statutes the receiver was required to call a general meeting of the crediuors within tour months irom the date upon whieh the corporation went into baukruptey, which period woula elapse on February 26. ‘Shree weeks’ notice should be given to euch creditor of the intention of holding such meeting; and, us many of the policy holuers wero avrond, now + was the proper time to eniorce such compliance with the statute und capse the notices Lo bo rasued, A QUESTION OF LAW, Another nice question of Jaw to be decided was whether the Continental -Company bax ceased to existor not, The policy bolders should be also re- quired to send in their claims without delay. General ‘Tracy said the receiver would mako all these stute- | ments when the proper time arrived, and there was | no necessity for counsel aking such motion at ull. Nor did “it reem to him’ that the receiver | should make his first report tothe referee. The re- ceiver should make his report dircet to the Court, and | it should be placed on file, and then the Court ebould reier that report to the referee But the report | should bo made first to the Court, otherwise there | Was no way of ascertaining when we sbali get the re- portatail, The chief intercst in this company centres around tho past history thereof. What the policy holders want to know is, in what manuer and in what way it became bankrupt aad who ts responsible for its becoming bankrupt. [ft such inquiry 13 not to be made there was nothing in the motion worth the making of it, Ho had an order to take the testimony of any one vf reliability as to the respon- sibii:ty of the officers of the compay 10 the corporation or to the policy holders thereof. ‘he reeciver cannot call witneszes to make the proper answers, The Court said the object of the motion was to find out what | funds bad been received and what had been | paid out General Tracy objectea to the mouou because it only provides for a controversy which | may arise. bat the Court wants to bo informed about is whether there ase facts which would require the Court to direct the prosecution ot suits aguiost responsible persons, The policy bulders should not come in and ask fora relerence to sattiic controversies until such time as controversies may exist. He wanted a tribunal to juvestigate the history ot the company, and to place the bistory belore the ublic, apd to place the duty of the receiver fore the court, so as to make it clear whether the receiver 18 doing his duly or | | not. Counsel said be had a right to appear ior lis | | chents, who are policy holders, and he simply made | these suggestions for the consideration of the Court. | Ex-Judge Fullerton said the receiver's report would sbow to a uicety where the moneys had gone, aud | that no dispute was likely to arise between the policy | holders und the receiver. ‘his order was simply to | Joad the Court with particularities which are uot ima- | terial. How wus it possible tor (he referee to uo. | termine tbe question of lability or ag to the | supposed liability of any of the efficers of the company? The receiver could on or before January 30, ten days hence, bave prepared a report a8 to the condition of the company which be would then submit to the Court, If, on reflection, the Court then saw bt, leta referee be appointed. The order, be bu- lieved, should be made ont with that object in view. Judge Pratt tuok the ors aud directed the cou! to hand in hig written suggestions before four o’cloc | in the altorndon, The instructions of the Court were not complied with up to five o’clock last evening, when the Judge went to bis home.

GOLD 106 1-2 A 106 5-8, Government Ponds Strong and in Good De- mani—Railway Bonds Steady--Money on Call 5 and 4 Per Cent— The Bank Statement. Watt Street, } Sarunpay, Jap, 20-6 P. M, Stock Exchange bulls went home happy this after- noon, under tho surety that the highest prices oftne day had been made at the finish and with a market closing stropg and buoyant. Quotations had gradually worked upward during early hours, through the good impres- sion made by the hopeful news from Washington, and wero still further strengthened by the favorable bank statement, which exhibits an increase of gold of $1,287,500 and of legal tenders of $3,085,900. This latter item being looked upon as a guarantee that the recent sharp rates for lounable funds were 4 about over a greater willingness was manifested to venture upon the long side of the speculation, and tempted buyers im accordance. The old favorites were again brought to the front, with Lake Shore, Wostern Union and Central and Hudson offering the chiot attraction, Although the amount of business showed no increase there was a more general desire to deal in the whole list, which lent a moro cheerful aspect to things. The Western Union party seemed to have taken new hoart, and went at thor work with a zest that secured a uetgain of % por cent and a promise to do still bettor during the coming week? The pviut of 80 is regarded ag oflering acritical situation in the move- ment, and itis probable that-atug of war will come about that time between the shorts and longs that will test the powers of the pool considerably. : Meantime they have washed their hands of Pacific Mail, after gently touching it two days back, and left it to sink into its old dulness, Lake Shore ran ahead of the active ticket ia the day's dealings, polling the greatest number of sales and securiug arise of 1 per cont, which stood to its credit at the end. Even Ohios, which had sunk to 63, recovered smartly to 7 in fival dealings, through syinpatby witn its more sprightly ueighbor and under renewed assurances of much higher figures which aro to rosult from the fostering care of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, The truth appears to bo that a few thousand shares, picked ap by the camp followers of the market last®week, when large purchases were made by prominent speculators, have been sold out in disgust and are no longer pressing the price down. Michigan Central appeared for 11,000 shares, but the bocus pocus of Mr. Sage’s privileges, while it created trade, prevented any considerable advance, Central and Hudson continued its strength from yes- terday and made the best record of the day 1n point of improvement, rising trom 103 to 10434 and closing ata fraction lower, Tho coal stocks remained without notable alteration, and were only remarkable from the fact that precisely the samo number of shares chauged bands in cach of the two prominent fancies. As before mentioned, money ts flowing into the mar- ket, and was to-day easily obtainable at three per cont. This fact and the improved political situation are hopeful signs of & more active and buoyant state of financtal afuirs.
