The LATE POIsOSIsG CAsE-SUICIDE.-At quite q
late hour or Wednesday night Coroner Perry concluded
his investigation into the of death of George
Kline, who died in Bellevue Hospital under rather
mysterious circumstances from the effects of poison
previously mentioned in The TRIBUNE. Mrs. Eva
Kline widow Of the deceased, testified that her hus-
boLd very Incorporate mon that on last Sstur'
cay evening about o'clock he came home intoxicated,
ard complained of being sick. She endesvored to
induce him to go to bed but he refused aud at the
time commanded her to shut up the house. az he
was going to take some arsenc. Mrs. Kline replied,
insisting that he should take poison in the house,
and told him if he did not leave she would send for
policeman and have him taken away. Kline then left
the house and never returned. Mrs. Kline, alarmed
at what he had said about poison and fearing that he
might AXE an attempt upon his bfe fastened to the
drug store corner of Delaney and Essex streets aud
there learned from Lewis Ellis one of the clerks that
he had sold her husband three cents worth Of arsenic
he alleging that he wanted it to kill rats with. Later
the same night Mrs. Kline found the deceased in the
Thirteenth Precinct Station House, and following him
TO the Hospital remained by his side most of the time
til he died. The jury the evidence adduced rem
dered verdict of death by suicide BY taking arsenic
The deceased was so years of age and a native OF

UsAUTHoRIsED CITY ExPESDITUREs.-Inthe Board
of Aldermen, last evening Aid Tucker presented
preamble and resolution to ascertain by what authority
certain extensive repairs and embellishments were
being made in public buildings throughout the city
1t appears that much work has been going on, in jobs
of $3.50 and less but where the contractors for the
work got their instructions has not been satisfactorily
ascertained. Mr.. Conover, the Street Commissioner,
under whose Department such Improvements are
placed has not ordered the work. 1t is therefore very
probable that few pothouse politicians acting under
the Mayors Street Commissioner, Mr. Devln, on the
ruirs of the old Chiefs Office, have been figuring in
these jobs, and they have fine prospect of bearing
the expense themselves letting the contractors suf
fer Mr.. Flagg has refused to pay all bills for such
work and we understand the claimants are about ap-
plying to one Of the Ward Courts, through that new
limb Of the law, the e1-Clerk to the Chief. The work
being done without authority is said to be on an
tensive scale. In the rev Harry Howard Hose-House
over 81 coo have been expended for fancy painting
and Embellishments, extraordinary for hose.hou.e
even in the present extravaganza. Numerous jobs
have also recently been done in the City Hall and
ether public buildings, under the same s. doubtful
powers"
