CORONERS’ QUEER WAYS. HOW DEATHS ARE INVESTIGATED IN. NEW YORK. peculiar Cases In the History of the Coroners’ Office—Angie Belmont’s Suicide—How a Vanderbilt’s Death May be a Source of Revonue—Care lessness and Crime Concealed. New York, Aug. 27.—Just at sunset one day not long ago a loud explosion in a shaft of the new aqueduct, near Inwood, broke with deadly force upon the still air. Im mediately following came the shrieks of men in agony, followed by moans, and then all was quiet. Workmen at other points came running to the shaft with blanched faec6 and waited in suspense while the huge bucket slowly ascended from the dark hole in the ground. Soon it came into view. The men in the shaft had been fortunate this time. Only two of the ten men working in the darkness had been hurt by the premature explosion. They were terribly burned and their chances of recovery were slight. The accident was so ordinary an occur rence that only a few of the workmen re mained to assist in removing the wounded men to the flat cars on the Hudson River Railroad. A surgeon who was called did what he could to alleviate the sufferings of the poor wretches and then they were put on stretchers on the cars. In this manner they were transferred to New York like any other freight. ' ' ‘a ONLY TWO. Arrived at the Grand Central depot they remained in the ears until an ambulance was summoned from St. Fr ancis' Hospital. At the hospital it was found that recovery was out of the question, so they were transferred to Bellevue. Three hours had now elapsed since the explosion had oc curred. Of course they died. The only mystery is that they lived so long. But the life of “a slave of the aqueduct” is cheap in the eyes of the employer, and the Coroner summoned to investigate the deaths of these men simply announced in his report: “Cause of death, accident.” Further investigation he did not deem necessary. It would not be well to throw too much light upon tho num ber of deaths that occur through care lessness in the aqueduct, nor upon the brutal manner in which the wounded are handled. The men who employ these workmen at a miserable pittance are wealthy contractors, and their money is undoubtedly freely used in keeping the veil over the disagreeable happenings in the work. The men are mostly ignorant Italians and know no better than to accept what treatment is ac corded them. The Coroner’s duty in these coses is plain, and it they were officially investigated, undoubtedly matters would at once improve. No doubt the four Coroners have substantial reasons for not exerting their authority. This is not tne only field in which the ac tions of the New York Cor oriel's seem open to suspicion. The salary of $5,000 received by a Coroner would never tempt some of the meji who have held, or do hold, that position. The expenses of obtaining the nomination and election amount to more than half that sum. The duties are very onerous and the honor is very slight. There are many ways in which the Coroner can add to his income by a little finessing; and, if the word of most of their brother politicians is to be accepted, they are not slow in taking advantage of them, The railroads that in any manner touch New York are, for instance, very kind to the Coroners. Annual passes are so com mon that ordinarily a Coroner's desk is full of them. It is notorious that nearly every Coroner for years liack has traveled only on passes. Nor, if there is any truth in ap pearances and common rumor, is that the only manner in which the railroads show their affection for the Coroner's office. Asa result, of course, very little ever comes of the Coroners’ investigations into deaths on the railroads. 1 have known of half a dozen deaths occurring on one rail road in this city in one week, two of which happened in one day. Each death was re ported as accidental by tho Coroner who in vestigated them, and not a word of censure was heard against the railroad company that was so careless in switching its trains within tho city limits as to run over six people in one week. Sometimes, in a very startling railroad accident where the people are thoroughly aroused, the Coroners bestir themselves. But their activity is more or loss feigned and blows over os soon ns the public, which is too busy in this great city to remember such a thing very long, quiots down. The death of Raymond Rogers Belmont, son of August Belmont, the wealthy banker, ana of William H. Vanderbilt, illustrate another means of income thoroughly recognized by the official death investigators. .Til j u - 1 isseis vCTn' a TIIK BELMONT CASK. The statements given to the public in the termer na*e were to tho effect that young Belmont had accidental] v shot himself at i oclock in tho morning of Fob. 1 while shoot ing at a target. He had boon, said tho Coroner's report, to n dinner during tho •veiling. When ho arrived at his father's Fifth avenue residence iro was somewhat heated and fatiguoi. He thought n little exercise would relieve him, and, calling his fat Iter’s night watchman, ho went with him down into tho cellar, and the watchman bold the light will hi he fired at n target. •" hi l " th<> Watchman’s back was iti some unaccountable wnv turned from him the pistol accidentally exploded oud young Bol tneut was killed. ’ As all society knows, this story was mode out of wholo cloth. Under those circumstances, and where so many persons were in the secret, it was easy for the Coroner to got at the fac te. But Coroner •Nugent didn’t do it. Perhaps he was de ceived; perbai* he wasn't. Any way, the records give young Belmont's memory the Leaeflt of the mistake. hen William 11. Vandei bilt died Coroner Metsemer made tho examination and gave the official permit. His action mode nim extremely unpopular with his confreres, be cause he liad not at the time been on duty and had taken upon himself the task that, by agreement among the four Coroners, be longed to Coroner Kennedy. The feeling agamst him was intensely 'bitter, and but for the prominence of' tho dead mans family it would very probably have resulted in a wrangle for the possession of the body. It tens tnen common talk nmong the politicians and newspaper men, who know that the Coroner who got there first had been well paid for not making himself too officious. Air. Vanderbilt diod suddenly while con versing with President Garrett, of the Balti more and Ohio railroad. That made it necessary to call in the Coroner so as to ob tain a burial permit. Had the Coroner in sisted upon holding an inquest then it would have been almost impossible to pre vent it. It can easily be seen thftt wealthy peo ple would pay well under such circum stances to escape the grievous offloiousness of the law. Would a Vanderbilt pay $lO,- 000 to prevent the holding of an autopsy or inquest upon the body of a member of the family! was a question much discussed about City Hall and the Coroners’ office at that time. Late one night several years ago a prom inent physician was called to the Anthony House, now the Broadway Hotel, at 881 Broadway. The hotel did hot then possess a very savory reputation and was frequent ed by many people of questionable character. The physician found a man lying uncon scious on a cot in a barely fumishea room on the third floor. The early morning light that was struggling to dispel the gloom dis played a horrible sight. The man was partly dressed and in the dim light the doctor could see that he had l>eon no stranger to dissipation. His features were con tracted and a frown rested upon his brow. The skull was fractured ana there were marks of blows upon his head and face. The knuckles of both hands were raw and bloody, the skin having been rubbed or beaten off. It was evident that a crime had been committed. The man was already in his death throes and beyond the power of saying who had been his assailant. In answer to his in quiries the doctor was told that the man was John McDade. He had registered at the hotel two days before. He had been seen that night in'the saloon on the south east corner of Broadway and Thirteenth street—a notorious place. An hour or two later his body was found by a fireman in the stable adjoining tho engine house, at Thirteenth street, near Fourth avenue. The distance from the hotel or the saloon to the stable was very short and the body could easily have boon carried there. THE END OF A FAMOUS INTERVIEW. The doctor made a close examination of the bodv and became convinced that the man bail been milrdered. The injuries he had received were undoubtedly caused by blows, and could not have resulted from a fall. The hotel people insisted that he must have fallen down stairs while drunk and then have wandered into the stable. The doctor saw that this would have been a physical impossibility. He inquired among the guests and servants and soon learned enough of the truth to enable him to explain the crime and to know how it had been committed. This was what he learned: While in the saloon on the corner, McDade met a woman with whom he drank several times. She accompanied him to the hotel. While there she was recognized by a former paramour, who set upon McDade. Tho lat ter fought savagely, but the other man was joined dv friends', who overpowered Mc- Dade. They lifted him bodily and endeav ored to throw him over the balustrade. He caught hold of it and clung to it for dear life. Then they pounded him on the face and head and heat and bruised hi.s knuckles until he was forced to let jlo. He dropped down one flight into the hall below. His assassins went down and exmnined his body. Satisfied that he was done for and would never be able to give an account of his in juries, they carried the body over to the stable and deposited it there. The doctor wrote a letter to the Coroner’s office stating what he had learned and re ?|iiesting that he he summoned as a witness or the people at the inquest. Several days later he was notified to appear. He did so. Upon being called to the witness stand he started to testify as t i how he had found the body and what'had lieen the result of his investigations. “Here, sir!” interrupted the Coroner, “when I want your opinions I will ask you for them. You answer the questions I put to you. Where was the deceased when you found him!” “He was lying on a cot in a back room on the t hird floor of the Anthony House, but he had been—” “Silence, sir,” thundered the Coroner again; “you confine your testimony to what will answer my questions. He had a frac ture at tho base of his skull, didn’t he!” “Yes; and bruises on his head and face. The skin on his knuckles—” Again the Coroner interfered. Ho hail, for reasons best known to himself, deter mined to hush the matter up and he quietly choked off the doctor’s testimony. The and >c tor was told to step down and was quietly hustled out of the room. Nothing was ever heard of the matter again. I could go on and recite innumerable in stances of suspicious lack of zeal by the off! cials in this department. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to obtain proof of ac tual collusion. Charles J. Rosebault. Are Dogs Property? The question was raised at the recent meeting of tho executive committee of the Georgia State Poultry and Bench Associa tion whether dogs could be made property. It was contended that by laws of the State the owner of a dog could not recover it if stolon, and in view of this a committee was appointed to secure the aid of the Represen tatives of Hi hi county in passings law giv ing one a property right in adog if returned for taxation. , „ , Wednesday Solicitor-General Hardeman called attention to the fact that section +402 of the Code made dogs the auhjooto of simple lorceny. This means that a person can be prosecuted for stealing a dog. but not for killing one. Their Buelneaa Booming. Probably no one thing has caused sudh a general revival of trade nt Lippman Bros.

DEFORMED WOMEN. Scarcity of Perfect Forms—Some Points About the English Figure. A perfectly formed woman is more of a rarity than a white crow. Pretty faces be long to New York girls as a part of the or dinary courtesy of nature. Beautiful women so far as hair, and lips and eyos can con trbuto to beuuty, are not uncommon sights, but grace, or even symmetry of figure, is among society girls or shop girls practi cally unknown. Five women out of ten whom one passes on the street are de formed. August is a good month in which to study the female form divine. Thick clothing is an impossibility. Wrap* of all descriptions are cast aside. In the cotton gown, which fashion has decreed shall be as closefltting and as severe in its outlines as its woolen, tailor-made model, no amount of padding and no make up, however ingenious, can disguise certain facts which are patent to everybody with eyes. The average New York girl has two strong points—her head and her hands. The head is well shaped and well set upon the shoulders. It is not large, but is alert in every turn and movement. It impresses the observer as belonging to a sensitive, in telligent, highly civilized type, whether he sees tho face or confines his view to the tip of the ear and the coils of the hair. The hands have grown progressively better sinoo tight gloves went out and out of door exercise came in. Asa rule they are not plump enough to be positively pretty, but tennis and archery havo given them a more muscular, healthy, usnide look than their pallid predecessors of a dozen years ago. But the figure. That is a cultivated prod uct, and as compared with the wild growth gives one a carious idea of the feminine agri culturists who have taken its training in hand. One has to reckon, in the first place, with the designed, and in the second place with the accidental. That is. one has to take into account the conventional shape which the girl tries to model herself into and the various modifications of that shape brought about by the manner of life, work, exercise, etc. Asa basis for the various exigencies of life to work themselves out upon, the New York girl for four or five years past, has started with Mrs. Langtry. There never was a figure exhibited in New York that became more popular or more widely imitated than the Langtry figure, ana. allowing for the faint touch of caricature that marks an imitation as distinguished from the original, anil sometimes for the broader caricature that shows the differ ence between dress education and non-edu cation, there are some thousands of dupli cates of the Langtry waist and shoulders walking about the" streets to-day. The Lily’s neck is beautiful, but her shape is English, and bad English, and the copies made out of all sorts of flesh and blood material naturally exaggerate its worst points. A good example of the second hand Lily was one of the throng of workers that poured out of a big dry goods store at clos ing hour last night. She was a sunset-bead ed belle, 20 years old or thereabouts, good looking, neatly dressed and very like her original in natural figure and superinduced build. As I looked at her, her shoulders, though really small, seemed of dispropor tionate size. The shoulder blades, through dress necessities, were pushed out at an angle and the shoulders forced forward, giving a tilted prominence to the whole up per part of the body. The chest was a trifle flat. The waist was six or eight inches too small and unnaturally round. Across the bust ran the prominent line that marked the corset top, and from this point to the waist line the body was as unresponsive to muscle movements, as rigid and almost as much beyond its owner’s contral as if it had been molded out of dead clay. The hips were too large. With the Swaying of the draperies the swish and swing of the exten sive bustle the figure gave the impression of being insecurely fastened in.the middle, and one involuntarily hoped the hinge might not give way and the thing break in two. The probabilities arc that her calves would have showed bad garter marks and that she would not have bared her feet, except in strictest privacy, for a good round sum. Tnis English figure is a very general work ing pattern and sometimes, passing a cluster of girls on the pavements who have given many years to its cultivation, one guess at the every day habits that have brought about individual peculiarities, differentiat ing figure and adding special to general de formity. An English waist on a girl who doesn’t take much oxerciso is apt to remain closest to the average type. Long thin arms are the only characteristic in such cases ad ded. An English figure at a clerk’s copyist’s, or stenographer’s desk always gets one shoulder and sometimes one whole side of the figure higher than the other. But it is the athletic girl, the new type of girl who goes in for pretty nearly all the sports her brother takes up, who is, if she has previ ously cultivated her figure, the worst de formed girl of all. There is nothing like athletics and corsets, mixed or in alternate doses to bring out the possibilities of curves twists, and abnormal developments in a modem girl. All British femininity is at present engaged in screaming contradic tions at Labonchere, because he had the harihood to declare that tennis playing girls were crooked. In a half dozen groups at the Central Pnrk yesterday, I picket! out four players whose right shoulders were noticeably of different shape from the left, and six or seven in whom the same thing though less obvious had tiegun to manifest itself, the summer exertion enlarging the muscles and light clothing thrusting them out of place and accentuating the uneven development of the body. Girls who row in corset* are a curious night, the extra mus cular delelopment all taking place high up where the blood has a chance to circulate and making the shoulders tower above the' rest of the body. When I see a woman who is not deformed I mark the day with a red letter. Mrs. Tom Thumb, tlie Countess Magrie they call her now, enjoys the distinction of being the only symmetrically shaped midget. The women of full size who have ixxlies whoso lines a sculptor would care to copy without alteration occupy positions almost as unique. Miss Alice Freeman has owed much of her success at Wellesley to the fact that she is a magnificent specimen of womanhood physi cally, finely formed and commanding re spect by her control of her bodily powers. No whalebones creak when she walks, Maria Mitchell, the astronomer, with her white hairs, would shame many a younger woman with her perfect physique. Mrs Jennes* Miller, the n*w dress reformer, will succeed, if she succeeds, because she is herself liar mony from top to toe in every line. Miss Grace H. Dodge, the School Commissioner, lias one of the best figures in Now York. One can see splended figures in Castle Gar den any day in the week, but they never ap jienr outside it because the immigrant’s first exploring tour is directed toward a cheap clothing shop, where she throws aside the Gerninn or Swedish bodies and puts on the corset, which she laces the tighter to make up for lost time. Sitting In the office of a woman physician the other day. I noticed a < ollection of but tons that, lay on a tray on her writing desk. “Snapped riff women’s gowns,” she said in answer to my look of inquiry. “A good proportion of my patients can’t nut on their Imimets when they rise to go ,without un fastening tliejr dre-s to enable them to lift their bands to their head. In tile unbutton ing or buttoning up pi-ocess one will fly off and hide itself in the corner. I keep a (ranch of flowers,” and she joint i to a vase of golden rod, “for any unlucky one to cover neticiencieK with when we can’t find the truant button.” A masseuse who ha* seen considerable service in wealthy families, told me one day that in years she had ad ministered massage to only one woman whoso ribs were not displaced by corn 4, wear ing.

New York, Aug. 27.—Tho Harlem river is one of the most popular summer resorts accessible to New Yorkers. The Harlem is a sluggish stream, though tho tide runs strong in spots. It is a muddy stream, and a boat can, if it tries, got stuck almost any where at low tide. It is not a clean stream, and in dog days, at certain stages of the water, not always a sweet smelling stream, yet the Harlem has a big clientage, and a study of Harlem femininity on a bright Sunday in August is a* well worth while a* any series of Long Branch or Asbury Park sketches. Women who spend a hot Sunday on the Harlom have this advantage over the rest of watering places womankind, that tho usual proportion of tho sexes is exactly reversed; there arc about five young men toonoyoung woman,and the fortunate fair one feels in her element accordingly. *" She is not a parlor girl by any means. She does not feel the severe, critical eyes of her own sex upon her, and tho restraint of a society in which the public opinion is fixed by women flung aside, she blossoms out into a jolly sort of hoyden, going in for all the fun that can be reaped. She puts her gloves in her pocket. She loans her big rod parasol to hor best young man. Sno laughs till the echoes ring. She catclias crabs with her net and more with hor oar. The more crabs of either sort slio catches, the better she likes it. There are all sorts and conditions of Har lem girls. There is the trim girl from the measurably select brownstone front on the quiet side street or tho neatly appointed up town fiat, She wears white flannel and a white felt sailor hut, and she sits composedly under the awning in front of t he smart boat houses of the rowing clubs while practice crews are coming and going in racing shells, and big muscles swell for hor edification un der tlie broad st riped jersies as the sixes or the eights lie around on the float prepara tory to taking another spin. She is not tlie girl who gets most enjoyment out of a Har lem Sunday, however. She looks on it as a spectacle instead of entering con amove in to the thorough-going Bobemianism of tht\ place. A more usual type is your white lawn girl, with not too expensive cotton lace or em broidery covering neck and arms. She has been shut up for six days in shop or factory and she is out for a holiday and a general good time. She and the girl with her—they always hunt in couples—bring along in com mon ownership two, perhaps three, young men. Sometimes the escorts are clerks, and their white skin burns painfully red and they tie hankerchiefs about their throats be fore they have been half an hour in the sun. Sometiilies they are stalwart young fellow’s enough. They always strip off their coats and naddlo about clumsily, in wilt ing lihen in a clumsv dory, for, except the boat club crews, nobody on the Harlem knows bow to row. Your true Harlem girl brings a lunch for the party in a brown pa per bag. She never objects to bottled soda and not always to a mug of lager when the boat goes bumping against the floating res taurant that drifts about the Harlem dis pensing fluid refreshments to everybody who thirsts. She manages to tear the thin stuff over her arms pretty frequently in her wrestles with the oars, and when the pink flesh begins to show through it doesn't give her any great amount of concern. The Har lem girl is not prudish. She thinks a man looks just as well without shoes or stockings. She is always fond of flowers, and every spray of cardinal ilowei-s or golden rod that shows it. head on the banks goes home on the elevated with her when the day is done. She averages aliout as pretty a* tlie Asbury Dark kind, and tlie Harlem is a godsend to her, giving plenty of air and healthy exer cise with pleasure that is none the less in nocent for being loud. The Harlem girl is a wholesome sper’tacle. I like her the better for—perhaps it is because her every-day life is a hard one—not being refined to the point of being ashamed to show when she is pleased. WHEN A WOMAN HAS TWO HUNDRKED AND FIFTY gowns, with underwear-wraps, bonnets, lanes and parasols to correspond, what is she going to tlo with them ? Obviously she re quires some place for storage, and the result of competition in dressing is seen in the <le mand this summer for especial rooms, ar ranged for the keeping of such toilet valua bles at the watering place hotels. Such a gown room is not a mere trank storage apartment. It is fire proof, or meant to be so, and it oontaius a wealth of closet room aud (liv;* rack room that would turn an or dinary housewife's brain. Four such rooms 1 pre-empted by individuals have been in use this month at Saratoga, to say nothing of plelieian bed-rooms set aside for wardrobe mysteries by one woman, or two or three women in common. Mrs. William Ixw ton, of New York, lias hud ono gown room. She is credited with eighty out-door gpwns, 100 evening gowns and some lifty morning and piazza toilets. A Chicago woman, Mrs. Moore, ho*-another gown room, and keeps il about as full. The wile of a Kansas City broker, an heiress from the Pacific Coast and a pretty demi blonde Philadelphian, carry an equal amount of baggage and are hardat work at tlie task of making one ap pearance in each toilet of their list of from 150 to 200 apices. The yachting gown is very picturesque this summer. Sometimes it is a led twill cloth, with a long pleated waistcoat of white pique. Sometime* it is a yellow and white striped flannel, with a peaked yellow cap. Sometimes it is a dark blue serge, with a squadron bodice in white, made short waisted aud fastened with three double but tons. A checked tweed with a peaked red cap is a pretty fancy. A soft silk boating gown comes out when there are no white ca|M to tie seen. A rod silk blouse contrasts piquantly with a fancy skil l. A whit? silk skirt is sometimes the most effective garb of all, with draperies of the same ceil ir. a scar let su-dt and a scarlet cap. Many women look their best on the water. They know it and take very kindly to gala days with the tloet. THE DAILY PAPERS IN THEIR MENTION of Mrs. Josephine Khan Lovell's re port, on behalf of the Ktate Board of Charities, on the abuses existing in the Hlm'lcwcll’s Island workhouse generally omit tiie recommendation of tho Issu'd, urged by its Secretary, Ml' Charles S. lloyt, that, if a reformatory for women Ik; estab lished,it be managed mid offlepred entirely by women. For autumn journeys by rail or steamer a tayorite material is a lustrous mohair. Blimps of French gray are preferred or, for young girls, stripe* of gray and white, fawn and white, blueund white or solid dark blue. Hows of narrow moire ribbon make the prettiest trimming. The bonnet is of gray straw, small and close, trimmed witli cardinal flowers, one drooping cluster of scarlet Isian blossoms, resl carnations or btu ette-. The old-time pocket, hanging on the out side of tho gown and corresponding with the abort, round waUU and lull skirts, is one of the fashion revivals threatened for the full.

There are at least fifty thousand men employed in their manufacs ture, and as many as a hundred thousand are made every year. An average piano requires one hundred and twenty days of labor to eomplete it—a slow and tiroeom* process for the work of one man’* but in Germany they are still so madaj Although the United States now turna ou< many thousand piano* a year, fifty-flvo| years ago scarcely fifty were made, annually*. Almost every household now regard* aj piano ns essential to happiness; for we hava long since passed the age of simplicity oi our forefathers, and the ago of luxury had fairly sot in—and we rojoice that it is so. What a wide Hold is open for the mania facturer, and what inducements to carryj improvements of the piano to the highest) state of perfection. Tho variableness of oub) climate renders it of the first importance that our pianos should be made in the most thorough and substantial manner, and w certainly can claim that our American pianos arc the best in the world.—Musical World. : The question of the superiority of Amerv can pianos over those of foreign make id indisputably settled and needs no discussions while in prices the odds are likewise largely! in our favor.
