New York Sun, September 6, 1873. On Thursday night I>avid Coe saw smoke ascending from the top floor of the tenement in the rear of 199 Ninth street, Williams* burgh, in the apartments occupied by James MerrigdU and his wife. Mr. Coe extinguished the fire with a few pales of water. Captain Woglom and Officer Edmund Brown exam ined the premises. On the upper floor a room and bedroom are on each side of the hall. Merrigan’s apartments were on the right side of the hali, over the rooms of Mrs. Kipp and her son-in-law, Mr. David Coe. The officers entered the bedroom. As they passed to open the shntters they stumbled over the burned bed and discovered the part ly charred body of a woman. Her head was resting on the floor near the door. She was node and there were no evidences of her clothing to be found. Her head and breast were blister^! and dbfignred. f The body wos * The limbs were straight, and Vj Aide.

It has been learned that the dead woman was Miss Margaret Ham mill, of Forty-eighth street, New York, and that she was visiting the arrested persons. With Mrs. Merrigan she had been intimate for years, as they were school girls together.

She was weal th}', having at the death of her father received as her share of the property a number of houses in East Tenth street She was sup ported by the interest of her money. Nearly every month she visited Mrs. Merrigan, re maining for days with her. On Tuesday af ternoon she entered Mrs. Merrigan’s apart ments, and had not been seen until her body was discovered. Mrs. Kipp 8aw her enter the yard by the alley on Thursday. She noticed her particu larly, because she was so richly dres-*ed. A gold chain wound about her neck fell in coils on her breast. She passed Mrs. Kipp's door, smiling at her, and passed up the narrow t lair wav. Condensed Railroad Time Table, Giving the arrival and departure of all Trains, rected by It. D.
