Fischer, the divorced husband of Catharine J. Fischer, who met with death near Fort Lee, has as yet been found. Even his most Intimate friends seem to know nothing of his whereabouts. It was stated yesterday afternoon that Fischer had been on one of his protracted sprees, and had been sent to Raymond street Jail lor ten dayB by ono of the Justices of the Peace of East New York. A careful Inquiry among the different Judges developed tho fact that there was no truth In the rumor.

wiahor to onovnn of bv his many acquaintances MURDER THAT WOULD OUT. The Mystery of the Battle of tho Bar racks Probed After Many Years. The morning papers on December 27, 1881, contained a sensational account of a fight that hod taken place the night before In Mott street, New York, at the Barracks, Just back of Police Headquarters, that city. Whon the light was over Pas quale Laverine, of No. 308 Mott street, lay dying on the sidewalk.

His brother Antonio was supposed to have received a mortal wound, and though he lived he never regained his hoalth. Felice Laparolla, of 312 Mott street, bad a foarful knife cut in the back, and Frank Romero, of 274 Mott street, one as bad in thb shoulder. All the wounds were made with a long, sharp knife. The Italians, who were In a state of excitement bordering on frenzy, concurred In the statement that somo English speaking man whom they did not know had done the stabbing, and without cause. A spectator was arrested, but found innocent.

The Steamships Aurania and Republic Damaged. An Exciting Scene In Gedney's Channel Tho Bow of the Republic Cut Off About Two Feet from the Water Line Statements of Those on Board. The steamship Republic, of the White Star Line, but now In the service of tho Inman Company, left her pier at the foot of Grand street, Jorsey City, at 1:45 yesterday afternoon, bound for Liverpool. Sho carried about forty saloon passengers, among whom wore three Christian Brothers and about 100 persons in the steerage. She had a crew of nearly 140 men all told.

Captain P. J. Irving, the commander, was on the bridge and beside him stood Pilot Charlos Foster, of tho Ezra Nye, No. 2, of the Sandy Hook pilot boats. The huge vessel steamed at a modoratoly fast pace down tho North River, and when abreast of the Battery she was passed by tho steamer Aurania, of tho Cunard line, also outward bound.

The Republic passed out by way of tho Swash Channel, while the Aurania proceeded out by the longer route of the Ship Channel. By this means the Republic distanced tho other craft and succeeded In getting tho lead. At 3:30 o'clock the Republic was about three ship lengths from the Inner Farewell Buoy in Godney's Channel. Tho Aurania had gained upon the Ropubllc and was close upon her, giving every indication that she would attempt to cross tho White Star steamor's bow. Pilot Foster gave two whistles for the Aurania to go astern of tho Republic, but no attention was paid to thoso signals.

When It becamo apparont that a collision was likely to occur, Mr Foster rang two bellB for tho onglneor to back water and he put his holm hard to starboard. It was too late, however, for tho Aurnnla's port counter struck tho starboard bow of tho Republic. It was a glancing blow fortunately, for had the latter craft boen struck full by the stom of the Aurania she would have been cut In two. As It was tho Ropubllc had her stem cut clean off about two foot abovo tho wator line, and tho stem with tho boiler iron plates on the port sldo was stripped from tho bow, and was forced back threo feet, leaving tho forward compartment exposed. The Aurania received a huge dent on hor port counter, but was not disabled.

She lowered a boat Immediately, to ascertain tho extent of the Republic's damage and having satisfied herself on that point, sho proceodod on her courso. A sail was placed over the injured bow of the Republic and she steamed back to the Inman pier. She did not leak any on tho way up and required no tug savo when she was being docked. As near as can bo learned tho accident was due to thoso managing tho Aurania. T.

Adams, of Newark, N. a cabin passenger on tho Republic, said "Tho Aurania ran into us out of pure deviltry; she could easily have gone astern of us and we were so near the buoy that wo could not turn in time. She wanted to'show her power of speed." Pilot Foster said: "Just bofore getting to the buoy the Aurania attempted to pass our bows on tho port Bide. We blow two whistles for her to go astern. She paid no heed to the signals and thon I rang two bolls for the engineer to reverse and I put my helm hard to tho starboard.

The buoy was right In front of us. The Aurania was cloarly In the wrong." Captain P. J. Irving, of the Ropubllc, said Wo left the dock about 1 :45, and when we reached tho Battery the Aurania overtook and passed us. She wont out by way of the Southwest Spit while we wont through tho fiwash ChanneL In r.ttompting to pass us again close to tho inner Godney buoy we collided, per port quarter coming into contact with our Btarboard bow.

The Republic's Btem is broken, but she made in wator not a cupful coming back. We drew a sail ovor the cut as precautionary measure This is our first trip for tho Inman Company, the Republic taking tho placo of tho Baltic We have never had an accident In the twelve years this craft has bepn running. I havo commanded her for eight years. Wo will commonco repairs Immediately, the work having been intrusted to Haudron 126 Washington, street, New York. Wo will be ready to go to sea again in a week or ton days." James Colligan, tho foreman of Haudron Rob Ins, In speaking of tho damago, remarkod: It will take two woeks to make tho necessary repairs.

She was struck right on hor nose, aud It will be necessary to. scarf tho old stom and replace the bollor plates. Wo will put in a new stem, and she will be Just as good as ever. I will put a force of men to work Sunday morning. She Is not injured below the water line, for hor chief onglneor, Mr.

Curry examined her and found everything all right" Mr. R. J. Cortls, ugent of the White Star Line, went over to the vessel last night and had a long talk with Captain Irving. The Aurania will doubtless be libelled upon her arrival on the other side, as there Is precedent to base a bellof that as both vessels are owned In Great Britain, the courts of that country only have Jurlsdlc lou of such a caso.

A libel suit will also be Institu ed here. E. F. Wright, Managor of Peter Wright Sons, agents of the Inman Line, also visited tho Republic last night A few Brooklynites, who had engaged first class passage to Europe on tho Republic, returned by the Annex to this city late last evening. A CUSTOM HOUSE RUMOR.

Alderman Sterling's Appointment Said to Have Been Kecalled. A rumor prevailed lato last evening to the effect that the appointment of Alderman Sterling to tho position of Custom House Weigher had boen recalled and that Captain George B. Bacon had boon roinstatod pending tho investigation of tho charges preferred against him. This rumor could be traced to uo reliable sourcb. ch representative Democrats as Aldorman Kai.o, Coffey, Hugh Carboy, of the Twolfth Ward, and ox Alderman William Dwyer, of tho Second Ward, said they had not heard of the recalling of the appointment In view of the fact that the General Committee mot last evening, and none of tho mom bers knew of the rumor, it may bo characterized in the words of ex Aldermau Dwyor, as "a figment of the brain of some imaginative Mugwumpian." Up to a lato hour Alderman Sterling could not be found, either at his home or around tho City HalL NEW LOTS TOWN BOARD.

The Powdered Glass The Whole Affair Denounced as a Conspiracy. Mrs. "Wand, the Montreal woman who is accused of having attempted to poison her husband by administering powdered glass to him, came from Boston to this city on Wednesday last, to visit her brother, a Western Union telegraph operator, named Darrach, who boards on Columbia Heights. Mrs. Wand was utterly prostrated when she reached this city and was compolled to keep to her room until yesterday morning.

Yesterday afternoon a reporter called on the lady and asked her what truth there was in tho statoment that she had attempted to poison her husband. Oh," said she, has that horrid charge followed mo thus far. Before God I solemnly Bwear to you that I am innocent. Mr. Wand married me a poor and unsophisticated girl.

His was but the passion of an hour, and when it cooled and I was not possessed of money to compensate him for tho freedom he had abandoned, he tired of me and sought the first opportunity to free himself." Is it not true that you accompanied Mrs. Beau dry on a pleasure tour 5" "Unfortunately It Is, and now I realize the trap that was Bet for me. Mrs. Beaudry was introduced to mo by my husband, and he favored tho idea of my spending tho Summer In her My husband's relatlvos mo to Mr. Smith, and any letters that have been found in his possession are forgeries." Was there any ground glass found In your husband's food Now that you put tho question to me, I remember there was.

Shortly after my return from Bic, a Summer resort near Quebec, my husband took some half masticated bread from his mouth and said, What does this moan 7 Do you want to make a window out of me by feeding me on I laughed at what I thought was a Joke, and he left the tablo In a rage. As he had been drinking tho night before I paid no attention to him. A half hour after that he came to my room where I was making my toilet preparatory to going out, and accused me of infidelity and an attempt to poison him. His manner was so rough that I fainted and the servants called In the family physician. Just here I see the second part of the plot.

That doctor advised Immediate change of scene. He told mo that my husband was on the verge of delirium tremens and Baid that he might murder me at any ttme. After the doctor left my husband's aunt called on me and asked me to go to her cousin's In Boston. Unfortunately I went. Then I read of the disclosures, and In agony of soul and mind I camo to my brothof here in Brooklyn.

Now do I look like a murderess?" Thereupon Mrs. Wand Jumped from the sofa on which she was sitting and walked the floor in an excited manner. She is a handsomefbrunette about flvo feet four Inches in height, has dark black eyes and an open countenance. The reporter succeeded in calming her and asked her if she Intended to return to Montreal. "I do," said she, "and I will go on Monday and expose In the courts this infamous conspiracy.

My father was a minister and I have friends In that city, although I was imt a poor telegraph operator, and I will show that the millions of the Wand family cannot sully Innocence." A TALLY HO PARTY.

In some classes there are twice the number of children that there ought to be.

The Reported Action of the Propaganda and Alleged Orders to Bishop Longhlin The Prelate Said to Have Been Summoned to the Papal See. Kumors are afloat in Catholic church circles In this city and Hew York which give tho trouble between Bishop Loughlin and Father Crimmins, late pastor of St.

Mary's Church of the Immaculate Conception, corner of Leonard and Mauler streets, a more serious aspect than was at first supposed. Father Crimmins was suspended, as it Is generally called, but really had hod his privileges taken away from him by the Bishop about three years ago. The clergyman was well known in New York, Park Commissioner Crimmins boing his cousin and his people being woll to do. Ho was also well known in the Diocese of Long Island, ho having been tho pastor of the church at Hunter's Point before coming to St. Mary's, so tho action of the Bishop caused a good deal of commont, and much gossip was indulged in as to the particular breach of church discipline which led to the suspension.

It was known that the priest aud his ecclesiastical superior had had a serious misunderstanding as to how the material part of tho church work should be conducted. Father Crimmins, in the light of past experience, so his friends statod, thought that the heavy burden of debt on tho church property should bo removed before any extensive improvements wer made or a new pastoral residence was erected, but the Bishop was of a different opinion, Judging at least from tho fact that he permitted the assistant pastor, Father Murray, to collect funds for and construct a new residence. The pastor was opposed to the action of his assistant, holding that the old three story and basement brick dwolling was good enough until tho debt was considerably reduced, and the consequence was the church practically had had two pastors. The new house was orocted, and Father Murray occupied it, tho pastor continuing to reside In the old dwelling alongside of it. This peculiar state of affairs was ended by tho Bishop taking away Father Crimmins' faculties and making Father Murray pastor.

The principal cause assigned by the gossips for the action of the Bishop was the refusal of Father Crimmins to surrender tho books of tho church to his ecclesiastical superior when requested to do so. In that connection it was said that a stormy scene occurred at a late hour at night in the parlors of Father Crimmins' residence between himself and Ihe Bishop in presence of a gentleman or two. Tho priest persisted in his ref usiA to give up the books until at least he had made a copy of them for his own protection. Some people said that tho books he held on to were those of his Hunter's Point Church. The statement In reference to the books was never denied.

It was said by the comparatively few laymen well posted in church matters and they gaurded the secret well from the general publicthat the true cause was a letter written by Father Crimmins to his Bishop. The latter demanded a retraction of statements, serious it is to be supposed, contained in the epistle, but the writer declined to take back one word ho had penned. The suspension followed. The next step in this Interesting church controversy was taken by Father Crimmins in appealing to what Is generally known as the church council in New York. The action of tho Bishop, it was stated, was sustained by only ono majority, but such probably was not the case.

The Cardinal was next appealed to and based his action in sustaining tho conclusion of the council on the serious detriment it would be to church discipline if tho Bishop wore not sustained. Home was the place of last resort to which the priest could look to have his faculties restored. Cognizance was taken in duo courso by tho Propaganda and the whole caso was reviewed. It was said that the act of suspension was annullod, but clergymen in this city vigorously denied it. A rumor has been in circulation in New York for a few days past to the ottoct that Bishop Loughlin, In the latest phases of tho caso, has injured his position in the controversy.

A few prominout business men up town in Now York, who are active in church work and woll posted In all matters pertaining to It, conflrmod the statoment when spoken to, tut they would not permit tho use of thoir names. The Propaganda, it appears from the statements Which have boen made, reviewed the action of the New York Council many months ago and unanimously docidod on reversing its decision, to use a legal phrase, and communicated in writing with Bishop Loughlin, instructing him to restore to Father Crimmins, in so many words, his ecclesiastical faculties and his church, from which tho act of suspension deposod him. Tho Bishop did not in any way intimate that he bad received such a letter. The distinguished clergyman who acted as counsel for Father Crimmins, aware of tho conclusion of the Propaganda, Baw that the Bishop was apprised that tho lettor had been sent to him, but ho took no notice of tho communication. Tho Propagand a was informed of the position of tho Bishop, and last July the prelate was ordered by the Propaganda to go to Rome and explain why ho had not restored Father Crimmins In accordance with instructions.

Whether tho BlBhop has since restored Father CrimmlnB to his faculties is not definitely known, as that part of the secret has not leaked out, but rumor has it that he has done so quite recently. Father Crimmins, however, has not been restored to his parish as Father Murray, a gentleman statod, is yet in charge.

Inspector Byrnes charged Detective Sergeants Haloy and Ruland with the duty of following up the case and finding the murderer, if they could. Years passed, and the flght lived In the history of Mott street only as a half forgotten tradition, boforo tho officers got on the right track. Whispers had come to them from time to time that convinced them that the key to the secret lay hidden in Mott street right around tho scene of the murder that had been witnessed by any number of people. Gradually, as they took shape, they pointed to John J. McCarthy, a young Fourteenth Ward thief, as the murderer.

McCarthy had disappeared from the neighborhood soon after the affray. Two months ago tho detecitvos wore not quite ready for him, and let twO months elapse before they drew their net.

As he wont put he asked O'Connor if the Italian was dead. Receiving an affirmative answer ho chuckled: "Served him right, he tried to slug mo." Lee's statement was to the same offect. When the two had told their stories, McCarthy was brought in and confronted with them. When he learned that they had told all, he did not deny it, but attempted to ustlf it oy saying that the Italians were the aggressors.
