Last winter Fisher engaged George Lances
a Gorman 20 yearn old t work for him
Langes came from Silesia In the course of
their talks about their home In the fatherland
Langes told Flslmr about I pretty sister ho bud
In Germany and showed him her photograph
I was a picture of a handsome woman about
28 years old with dark ores and brown hair
Fisher a pleased with the picture and he
asked Lances t Introduco him t her by letter
Fisher
A correspondence thus begun between
and Langeaa sister Ida resulted In an engage
ment It Is believed and the young woman
sailed for America on June 3 In the Hamburg
steamship Wleland Her going from home was
a sad parting for she said good by to a brother
who was believed to be on his deathbed She ar
rived In this country on Tuesday evening and
went t Naegells Hotel In Iloboken Yesterday
morning she cent t Bound Brook the following
despatch
I7lM4 feAr
line arrived I safe Com form 10 Luau
A reply was sent not by Fisher asking her
t go ImmeJIately to Bound Brook She ar
rived there at 518 In the afternoon to learn
thnt her brother nnd her lover both lay dead in
the Inters house When this news was broken
to her she was speechless A postal card awaits
her In the Bound Brook Post Omce with news
that her brother In Germany whom she Ill on
his deathbed died before the vessel sailed
j from Hamburg
frxTn g 10 oclock yesterday forenoon George
Bomers tlm Western Union telegraph messen
ger boy at Bound Brook went to Fisher B house
with the despatch from Idn Lances He found
all the doors locked and thero were nn evi
dences of life about the place Tho telegraph
boy went to the house of Mr Smock I short
distance away and told him that he could not
eel Into Fishers Mr Smock called his hired
boy Bernard Egel who was out at work In a
Held near Fishers housu and vent him with
the telegraph messenger t see whether any
thing was the matter Mr Smock while In the
fold earlier In the day had seen smoke coming
from between the slain of the blinds of Fishers
windows but he conjectured that < I came from
the stove at which he supposed Flsner nnd
Langes were cooking their breakfast t When
young Eel and the telegraph boy arrived at
Fishers they found Charles Greeder ot Plain
field trying to raise a window In order that he
might leave some bottles of beer which Fi her
had ordered on the previous evening lulling
him that I there was no one about the house
when he came In the morning he might get the
bottles through one of the buck windows After
looking about the premises and finding no one
they forced one of tbo windows open A sick
toy smell as of some oily substance burning
pervaded the house Young Egel went thrnugn
the window Everything was na usual down
stairs He wont to the upper story All of tho
doors nave one wore open This one leads to a
rear bedroom eight by ten feet In size Egel
opened the door and a put of smoke came out
He saw one of tho men lying on tho bed and the
other on Ibo floor and smoke was curling tip
from some litter In which the man on the floor
lay He called U Fisherl and as ho did so he
caught a glimpse of Laneoss eyes which
caused him t flee down stirs shouting They
am both dead I
blh
The boy aped back to the telegraph office with
the message unopened Egel and Grander cot
palls of water and put out the smoldering fire
Constable Robert L Pierce was called Lnnues
was found lying on the back side of a bed Hint
occupied a southern corner of the small room
His position was that of a man who had been
transfixed with a spear while sleeping His
head was on I pillow His arms and legs were
bent at tho elbows and knees His hands were
clenched and his feet were cramped There
was a bullet hole In his left breast an Imh to
the left of the nipple As he lay thn wound was
te > nearly the highest part of his chest ami the
blood from It had flowed In all directions Indl
sating that his only motion after being shot was
o draw up his arms and legs He had on a
striped calico shirt Fisher was lying
in his back by the side of
the bed on the floor There wan
n bullet hole In his body just below the lower
part of the brent bone He was covered with
Blood and featuers stuck to the blood His
118
back bIt lido and left arm were charred with
fire The elbow and a part 01 the hand were
consumed Under his body three holes as
large as a mans hat crown were burned In the
floor The bed and the floor near Fibber
were Uttered with feathers thnt had bn
shaken from a large bolster and scat
tered around Dense smoke filled the sca
Near Fishers head lay a large fivechambered
Colts navy revolver In which there were two
cartridges two empty shells and one vacant
chamber Tho blinds on the window at the
back of tho bed wero closed and Langess briar
wood pipe lay on the sill The blinds
near the head of the bod were rtlto
closed A lantern hung at the window casing
A glass jar partly filled with preserved
cherries was upset on tho floor Langosa Our
man Gcsongtmoh was lying In one cornr
near half I loaf of dry bread There were some
empty beer bottls In the room and a two
bladed pocket knife with a corkscrew attached
was on Ibo window sill A kerosene lamp stood
on tho floor near Fishers body and the glass
chimney was on a valise On the wall about
throe feet from the floor were black stains In
the form of finger prints
County Physician Williamson of New Bruns
wick came In the afternoon and made an
autopsy Dr Chauncy M Field of Hound
Brook wan present The bal that killed Fisher
penetrated the abdomen and emerged at the
back Death the Doctor said would not nnces
eerily have been Instantaneous Tho bullet
bul
that killed Langes Is believed to have gone
through the heart and lodged near the shoul
der blade The theory ol the double tragedy Is
that Fisher shot Lattices while the latter was
asleep standing at the foot of tho bod when he
fired that ho then tore open the bolster and
scattered the feathers f on the hid anti taking
the chimney from the lamp set fire to the feath
ers and then shot himself while standing at
the side of the bed From the condition ot the
Oleo It Is Inferred that the shooting wns at
about 3 or 3 oclock yesterday morning Feath
ers do not readily burst Into I hlnze when Ig
nited but the oil In them produces much
smoke
Conjecture supplies Fisher with a motive for
killing the brotluir tho girl he was to marry
putting an end to hie own life and endeavoring
conceal what had boon donn by leavlnl noth
Inc but a bed of ashes to mark the scene of the
tragedy He had been led to believe that the
girl would have a small dowry He
was himself ot a thrifty and somewhat
what penurious disposition One day Lances
told mm that his sister would receive no money
from home and Fisher seemed rather dis
pleased It Is said Lances worried Fisher by in
sisting that after the marriage ha should deed
the little farm 10 his wife Fisher had often
said speaking of the young woman
that ha was sure he was going to
like her but ho was not pleased at
LUDBOHH Intermediation In money mat
tars I Is conjectured thnton the night before
tha young woumuH arrival they fell to talking
about her after they had gone to bud they slept
toguthur and that Langes said something that
angered Fisher LHIIKHS I Is thought laid
his briarwood pipe on the window Mil
and went to sleep and Fisher allowed
himself to dwell upon the possible miseries
that might arise from the marriage ho was
about to make until he was carried to tHat
pin h l of nzcltument necessary to the perpetra
tion ot the deed with which he Is accredits
I in conjectured that the black marks on the
wall were made by FlsherwhlleKroplnuaround
tile room after ho bad shot himself and become
unconscious and bad been restored to con
sciousness by the burning of his hand In
tho smouldering litter where he first fell
There seam to be no reasons for suspecting
that the two men ware killed hy a third person
about 1 WW found In Flilmrs trousers

About tliroo months ago Mrs Thomns
Klnsolln tho lately divorced wife of Thomas
Klnsulla of Brooklyn took up her residence In
a cosoy Frenchroofed cottage In Division
street Stamford Cnn She wns accompanied
by her daughter Miss Hannah Klnsolla Tno
Klnsollas lived In the midst of a nest of beauti
ful country residences but they made few acquaintances
quaintances among tho neighbors and lived by
themselves Miss Klnsolla had several visit
ors Among them was Mr Heron Holly
stepson ol tho Treasurer of tho Stamford
Savings Bank a gentleman of wealth
Another of Miss Klnsollas friends Mr Itlch
and Bustebd Jr sou of exJudge Busteed of
this city wont to Stamford In tho train that ar
rived at about 6 P M on Tuesday He had a
little satchel In which wore sorao toilet art
cles clothing and a pistol Ho says his errand
was on legal business with tbo Klnsollas Mr
Bustood had not known Mr Holly previously
but upon being Introduced to him at tho house
the two men got along very well together and
Mr Holly mixed a jorum of punch Mr Holly
said It was a claret punch but Mr Ilusteed bo
lIved It was a Santa Cruz rum punch nnd also
concluded that for some purpose Mr Holly was
helping him rather liberally Both men stayed
rather late IRS Klns lln appears to hnvo
ben desirous thnt Mr Holly should go first
and nays he had bon drinking too much
About midnight Mrs Klnsella was In her
room and Mr Holly went up stairs Mr Bus
teed remaining down stairs Very shortly nf
tnr Mr lslepd says ho heard woman scream
I run upstairs and found Mr Holly appar
ently very much intoxicated Mr Busteod un
dertook put Mr Holly down stairs anrt found
he had moro than ho could accomplish ns ho
Is n very small man Mr Holly obstinately
held on to thn bannisters and spread himself
out so that Mr Ilustned was unable t movo
him Mr Busteod says ho believes that Mr
Holly was not half rm drunk as
he pretended and Mr Holly says ho
thinks Mr Bueteed thought ho Holly was
moro Intoxlcntod than ho really was The
struggle wns protracted and Mr Holly stub
bornly held his ground but no blows were
struck Then Mr Busleell conceived strategic
movement all strove t cat Mr Hollys arm
over the bannisters so ns to slide him down
Mnlrs not Mr Holly all fixed ready for the
1110 but Mr Hollys lees got entangled in the
stairs Miss Klnsella finally camn to Mr Bus
tneds assistance nail Mr Hollys ejectment was
accomplished Thinking that Mr Holly would
now retire Mr JJusteed returned to the top of
retre
thestnlrs What followed Is thus narrated by
the two principals Mr Dustecd save
When I wont up stairs I found tho fellow In
my room lying across my boil nnd he would
not 10 I did not believe no was so drunk as he
pretended I have senn men keel over before
and he wits not near so drunk ns ho scorned In
order to be prepared for the worst I wont to my
satchel all took out my pistol and put It In my
pocket He must liavn seen me do I When he
got to tho foot of tho Ftnlrs he turned and with
out saying a word he pointed a pistol nt me and
fired saying folntod you Busteod I
wasnt going to stand thero and bo a target for
him without taking I hand In so I pulled my
revolver out nnd le him hnve It sayIng D
you thats for you I didnt know whether ho
was bed hit or not but he wont out and I went t
bedMr Hollys story Is quite different He says
We cot along very well the early part of the
evening When I went up stairs thoy used mo
very rough In putting mo down and when I
saw him fooling with the pistol nt the head of
thu stairs I thought Im was going to shoot mo
I think wn both fired about the same time I
should say the shot were about Instantaneous
I dont know whether he wns hit I know he
hit me anti made a slight wound In the side
only 1 scratch and not at all dangerous The
fact Is wn were both I little Intoxicated and but
for that the affair would not have happened
Alter Mr Holly went away Miss Klnsella
fearing further sanguinary conflct started out
for n constable On her way she met a cab
driver named Gibbons who had just taken a
company home from an evening entertainment
Miss Klnsella promptly engaged the vehicle
and went In search of a constable She first
found George Dayton the watchman of the
hank but Dayton declined to leave the bank
Then aim woke up Constable John Alphonse
and persuaded him to go with her to her house
saying that I man had boon shot there Con
stable Alpbonse went up nnd found Dusted in
the house but Mr Holly was nowhere to be
seen Conludlng that there was nobody to arrest
them evidence of Con
rest ns was no shooting Cn
stable Alphonse concluded to go home and go
10
to bod which ho didafter taking the cartridges
out ot Mr llusteods pistol and leaving Con
stable McNally In charge of the house until
morning
About 4 oclock yesterday morning two other
constables arrived at tho house and Insisted on
Rrr slnl Mr Busteed Ho was at first dis
posed to show tight but at length concluded to i
go with them In the morning to a Justice of lbs
Peace Ben Lyons Esq Mr Busteed then went
to lied again and tho constables stood guard
until morning I
Mr Holly had gone to his room nt tho Stam
ford House whore Dr Charles Itowcll pro
npunced his Injury very slight Tho ball had
just grazed his sldo When the parties met b
fore the Justlcu In the morning they were both
pretty well sobered and anxious to have the
nlTalr settled quietly I was finally arranged
that Mr llustoed should bo formally com
plumed of by one of the constables and that
Mr Holly should bn summoned as a witness to
shooting But Mr Holly refused to make any
complaint Mr Busteod was then discharged
from arrest and after paying tho fees I of the
lawyers the Justice and the constable WI
allowed to go his way Ho went back to the
Klnsellns house where he was found ycstor
day afternoon Ho declined 1 make any ex
planation except to say that he was there on
legal business that Mr Holly came to thin house
and Insisted upon staying when be was ap
parently Intoxicated anti it was necessary to
eject him by force thnt Mr Holly fired the first
shot and the fire was returned in selfdefence
Mr Bustued said he was not In thn habit of
shootingas hn had never fired bin pistol before
at any one but that ho believed he was justified
In thin emergency when he felt tho ball from
omerllncy b1
Mr Hollys pistol whizzing near his back He
had feared that Mr Holly would fire at him
again through the windows and had therefore
put out thn lights after Mr Holly went away
Miss Kluselln laughed over the affair Hho
snhtahe had very slight acquaintance with Mr
Holly anti believed he would not have ncted as
ho did had bo not been under the influence of
liquor
1flor Holly lay on a sofa at tho Norwalk House
yesterday afternoon suffering slightly from his
wound He sold he regretted the affair very
much Hn expressed his determination not to
prosecute Mr liustood for tlio shooting As for
himself ho said hn could have shot Mr Busteed
easily as ho has often snuffed a candle twen
ty pose paces but he fired wide of the mark on pur

ARK WRECKED SANK
Bred Indictment of Cashier Iledden Arc
Other Persons Impllcistod
NEWARK June 16 Thero Is littlo doubt
that Cashier Iledden of the suspended First
National Bank of Newark was Indlctud today
by the United States Grand Jury at Trenton
District Attorney Keasboy spent Monday In
Washington where I was well understood ho
was to consult with tho AttorneyGeneral and
the Comptroller of the Currency in regard to
the banks affairs On Tuesday he was present
at the swearing In of thu Grand Jury in Tren
ton Today he was In Newark until near noon
when he took the train to Trenton and with
him went Mr Donaldson n bookkeeper the
First National Bank They wero admitted to
the Grand Jury room about 2S oclock At 4
oclock shortly after Mr Donaldsons retire
ment from the Grand Jury room the Grand
Jury woro ushered Into court Judge
Nixon asked them whether they had
anything to present to tho Court Tho
Hon Sherman l Ovlatt Speaker In last
winters Assembly who Is lorcmnn of tho
Grand Jury responded that thoy had some
Indictments and handed four to thi Clerk Mr
Keasbey returned Immediately to Newark He
said this evening that It was no secret that a
deficiency had been discovered hy the ex
amlner to the amount of morn than the banks
capital stock which was 300 000 and that un
doubtedly tho banks officers Cashier Hedd n
chiefly were responsible for that deficiency
Who else was Implicated ho would not say
Thin action of tho Grand Jury was to remain a
secret until disclosed regular course
Senator Hobart the newly appointed receiv
er qualified before Judge Varknlow nf Pater
son Messrs James Bell and Robert Harbour
both of Paterson became his sureties to tho
amount of 30000 Tho reeelvor said today
that it will tnknhlm several days to get ready a
report for the Comptroller of the Currency but
that In thin mean time enough IH known to show
that the stock of the bank is completely wiped
out The receiver Is assisted by Mr Cummins
0 Cooper Clark of the last New Jersey Assem
bly Circulars are being sent out to banks with
wih
which the First National had dealings asking
for statements of account Notes Inft for collec
tion are being returned to tho owners except In
cases wbero the bank has a lien on tho col
lections
While enough evidence has been secured to
show that Cashier Iledden was a party to the
fraud by which the bank was embarrassed the
examiners researches hnvo illselosed thin fiet
that others urn responsible with him It his
been generally believed In Nnwark that the de
falcation of Paying Toller Hovdl which occur
red throe or four years ago was only about
40000 and that this loss was covered by
Dovulls bond and by property which ho turned
over to thin bank I now appears that thu
banks Ions in the transaction whlcli was never
made good Is not less than 100000
and that that wan tho beginning of
Its present difficulties Certain nf the
directors combined with Cashier Heddon to
conceal this deficit not only from thin public
but from their fellow directors to give out that
the deficit had been tnadn up and that tho hank
was In a prosperous condition Time cashier
with such an Illicit understanding In existence
making It necessary to do a certain amount of
kiting to the banks affairs In

PROVIDENCE Juno 16It will bo a fine
race tomorrow though of course Hanlan will
win Such Is the sentiment expressed by the
thousands of strangers who are already hero
Tho point however which gives the element ot
uncertainty rotates to tho abilities of the well
built Englishman Boyd lie seems to bo as shy
as I maid and Is as completely guarded from
visitors as is tho Comptroller of Now
York city Now and thon you hear of his
having taken a spin on the Scekonk River but
ho manages to do It whon few people are look
Ing Hanlan has cruised round about Boyds
headquarters nnd seems to bo desirous of
watching Englishman but Boyd prefers not
to gratify him Thoro aro rumors of Boyds
wonderful time though tho man Is yet to bn
tmob
found who has boon able to son Boyd go over
the course
But tho other scullers who have been rowing
over the Senkonk today nnd who will try to
bent their best time and possibly Hanlan to
morrow are men who stand high There Is
Itlley You his faco nnd little
ley can see 118 gaunt 1110 Ilto
pencllIIko sldo whiskers from the shorn as ho
bends over to his work Hn Is Hunted In 1
beauty of a i boat nnd hn Is rowing bettor they
say than ho did nt Washington Thoro Is
no man on thin Seekonk River today who
rows a handsomer stroke tn look nt than
Riley Hn has his eves on Hanlan all tho
time Hit ambition to boat Hanlan Is said to
be ns great as Grants for a third term Ho took
spin this afternoon To the unprofessional
eye it MAn Impossible for any man to eel
a boat through water Ilatnrthnn Riley wan doing
It Then thorn Is Fred Plnlsted the smiling
rower Ho seems to find something to smile ni
every time hn takes a stroke Perhaps ho Is
laugh Ing at tho moothnvon and rapid motion
that his swing gives the boat Plalsted has
friends who think hn may come In second but
t betting men dont seem to think so
<
Hanlan dellghtsto take a brush with Plalstnd I
nnd a stranger seeing the two men ohio by side I
rRnlP
would bo likely to sny that Plntsted was much
tho bettor let it was plain to see today that
In tho little brush Hanlan gave Plnlstod the
Canadian wns playing Ino him while
Plalsted was doing tile best At last Han
Ian stopped rowing and let Plnlsted pass
him Wallace Ross the Nova Scotlnn
doesnt seem to have a boat that suits him
Still ho Is rowing In good form and Is
tho only ono who has had thn pleasure of a
brush with Boyd Theso are Hanlana leading
competitors and yet no strong Is he that thny
are nil placed In tho hold oven against him hy
the pool sellers who hnvo been doing
a brisk business tonight A gentleman
who has been every rnco thnt Hanlan
hns rowed In this country says tonight
that ho never was In finer form than now The
gentleman adds than Hanlan Is very curious
about Boyd anti Is disposed to think that the
Englishman will make n good record tomorrow
Preparations nre mnklng for an Immense
crowd Already the hotels are filled anti extra
trains are to l > u run tomorrow from Boston
New London Hartford and other cities The
race will not take pain until Into In the after
noon The only trouble thus far that the Com
mittee of Arrangements have had has been
to get a long enough course The
State ot Rhode Island onehalf of whose
area Is water cannot offer n livemile
course or even a 2 > i mile course so It was
necessary to make the race for four miles ttto
anti a turn which Is found on the Seekonk
This river has some peculiarities of outlet and
middle eolnpfin from a broad stream to a nar
row gut that are as remarkable its name
Still the course Is a good one for spectators and
can generally be relied upon for smooth water

Nonxii ADAMS Mass Juno 16A most
unprecedented state of things now exists at
Adams In the northern part ot Berkshire
County Out of n population of about 4000
fully onethird are prostrated with a severe at
tack of n disease which closely resembles chol
era morbus About 10 oclock last nlorlit per
eons began to bo attacked with violent purging
and vomiting Whole families were prostrated
and scarcely n family escaped without one or
moro of Its members being taken down Three
of the doctors In the place worn soon rnnnlne
hither and thither tn Ing to answer tho hun
dreds ol calls and the other doctor lay groan
Inc In bed with tho prevailing disease The
whole town was nrousoil
The alarm spread from house to house with
the advance ot the epidemic and the doctors
were nearly as frantic as the people As a gen
eral thing the patient would tool at first a sort
of dizziness lasting for several minutes which
would bo followed by a deathly sickness and
rapid vomiting Terrible griping pains suc
ceeded the vomiting fairly doubling thin patient
up with the agony Then would como violent
purging which an r rule lasted for several
hours Home cases were exceedingly sever
A number ot men becoming crazy with
time pain did nod said all sorts of fool
ish things One of the worst cases was
thin local express agent who after the first vio
lent contortions and wrlthlngs worn over In
sisted on going to his ofllco to express his legs

women and children though strong men were
frequently prostrated Among the men at
tacked wcr Jnmes Renfrew thn manufacturer

Paper Company Toward morning thin epi
demic began to lose Its violence and the suffer
furs were generally relieved The cases which
broke out this morning and afternoon nro less
severe tlmn those ot last night though they
are all painful
No deaths occurred but scores ann left In a I
weak and helpless condition Today the
factories have been running with weakened 4
force and the stores arn without their usual
number of clerks The most of those who were >
attacked last night were out this afternoon but
feeling vary weak nnd nervous No fatal results
are anticipated though the doctors art utterly
nt sea ns to the CalmS of the disease They say
thny never sitw anything Ilkn It before At first
it wums fennel that the towns supply of water
had boon poisoned mind Ihnrn ann thoso who mill
ndlmrnto thick theory hut this does not seem 1
probable This evening THE SUN reporter
talked with time doctors nnd they agree that
the troublo must hews been caused by tome nt
mospherlc Influence of which they nrn ignorant a
About 830 last evening there was n heavy rain
nnd nflerttnrd tlm air grow suddenly and In r t
tensely cold Dr Burton says ho noticed about cf

Tonight Intelligence comes from Savoy and
other mountain towns about night or twelve
mills distant that the people urn similarly i

stiflnrerH were not In thin lutblt of using the

Tin doctors conned their calls only nt 8 oclock
