Suicide of the President of Broadway
Insurance Company.

MONETARY DIFFICULTIES THE ALLEGED CAUSE
INVESTIGATION BEFORE CORONER NAUMANN.
About hafpast o'clock Yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Thomas W. Birdsall, President of the Secu-
rity Nlre Insurance Company, called al the drug
store of Edward Milhaur, in Broadway, and
asked to purchase dose of strychniue, which he
said he wished TO administer 10 large
and troublesome dog. Mr.. Milhau at first
refused to furnish the poison, when Mr..
Birdsall gave his full name, said he was
President of the Security Insurance
Company, and lived in Yonkers, and that he
(Mr Milhau) was the only near neighbor on
whom he could call for medicine, etc. Believing
his story to be true the druggist gave Mr.. Bird.
sail two aHd q half grains of strychnlne, for
which he paid and lett. He returned TO the
Office and seated himself at the desk, remaining
there till shortly before four o'clock, when he
arose from his chair and was observed to take
drink from tumbler. He then retired to the
rear room, and lying down on a lounge, was
soon afterwards discovered to be dead.
The alarm was given, and messenger de-
spatched to the Coroners office, whereupon
Coroner Naumann proceeded to the office of the
Insurance Company and made a temporary
examination of the body, In answer as to what
prompted the deceased to take the poison, the
Coroner was informed that there was some de-
Tangement in his accounts or business AFFAIRS
which had been made a subject OF investigation
by the Directors OF the Company. 1t was also
stated by gentleman present that Mr. Birdsall
had been engaged in some private speculations
which had resulted dsastrously.
Coroner Naumann gave permission to have the
body removed to an undertaker's, and an in
quest will be held to-day, when further facts in
relation to the suicide will be developed.
The Security Insurance Company was orga-
Dl2ed in 1856, since which time deceased has
been Secretary, Vice President, and President.
He was appointed President of the Company
four or five years ago. Deceased has left widow
and several children, living in Yonkers, West
chester county. He was about forty-two years
of age.-NeIC York Herald.

Death of Senator Wright.

The Hon. William Wright, United States Seua-
tor from New Jersey, died yesterday at his resi-
dence in Newark n. j., AGED about seventy
He was naTive of New York State, but early
settled at Newark, where he long did large
business manufacturer of saddlery, ETC.,
and made generous competence. In lS43 he
was chosen TO Congress, as a boiling Whig can
dldate, beating (by the help of the Democrats)
the Hon. William B. Kinney, the regular Whig
candidate. He was reelected in 1916 without
opposition. In 1917, he was the Whg candidate
for Governor, and was beaten by the efforts and
votes OF such Wings as resented his bolhng into
Congress IN lS49. He tbereupon became allie
mated from his old Whig affiliations, and was
soon transformed into pro-slavery Democrat of
the Camden-Amboy stripe which he has ever
since remained. In 1928 he was chosen
United States Senator to I'LL a vacancy; he was
reelected In 1861 and again in 1868; so that
his present term would have expired, had he
lived on the 4th of March, 1869. His successor
(until one shall be chosen at the next session of
the Legislature) is to be appointed by Governor
Marcus L. Ward; and it is nowise probable that
the selection will either be dictated orpreyented
by Mr.. James M tScovel. Mr.. Wright was not
great statesman; but he was generous, public
spirited, self-made man, who cherished no ami
mosities, and never allowed political differences
to incite personal alienation if he could help it.
Now that he is gone, thousand kindly and
grateful associations will cluster arounl his
memory.-N T. Tribune,

Queen Yictoria,s Birthday.

To day, May "a, will be the forty-seventh ami
versary OF the birthday of the Queen of Eng
land. Tie day will be duly celebrated by the
English residents in this and other cities OF the
United States. In Canada and the British Pro.
viDces there will be the usual loyal reioicngs
in the shape Of reviews of troops, firing of can
non illuminations and fireworks. In England
the event will, OF course, be celebrated with
great 6cGt and IN all the British dependencies
throughout the world there will be more or less
reioicings. Her Majesty is now in the twenty
ninth year of her reign, having ascended the
throne on the demise of her uncle William w,
in June, 1887. This is a long time for the reign
of British sovereign, the greatest longevity
having been attained by her grandfather, VINO
reigned sixty years. She has a numerous family
of nine children, five of them sons, all OF whom
are living. Queen Victoria's popularity has
been somewhat impaired by her long seclusion
from public life in consequence OF the death of
her husband Prince Albert, of Coburg, but she
is held in deserved estimation for her character
as lady and Queen, and English subjects in
every part of the world will honor her birthday
with the respect due to her position as the sove-
reign that rules over several hundred millions
of people.

Great Radical lIeeting-4 Mile Of Soldiers.

We published yesterday a telegraphic
report Of the great Radical meeting at
Reading, Pennsylvania, on the 22d. The
event IS further described in the following
telegram to the Chicago Republican
The Geary mass meeting at Reading,
Pennsylvania day was a great success.
Over twenty thousand strangers were in
the city; thirty full brass bands, and a
procession mile long Major General
Hartranft acted as chief marshal. Among
the various devices upon the cannon was,
" We will make treason odious, Andy, "
I'VE vote as we shoot" mo extra repre-
sentation for rebels" a thousand bows
in blue from Harrisburg had 4 full oand,
and cannon with, 1--WE have done our
duty in the field, and intend to do it at the
polls :" Boys remember Anderson Vile,
Libby, and Salisbury, and give traitors
back seats"
Gen. Geary rode at the head Of tho pro
cession; and was greeted with the widest
applause and enthusiasm. Speaking was
had from three stands in the public
squares. Col. W. T. Thomas, the remov-
ed Collector of Customs st Philadelphia,
presiding, made a brief speech, and was
loudly applauded. Gen. Geary spoke from

State Senate, Col j. W. Forney, and oth-
ers, spoke all the afternoon.

Gen. Sheridan on New Orleans Affairs.

Gen Sheridan, in his -eply to the Pres
idents call for information concerning the
New Orleans riot, after detailing the events
Of the riot, concludes as follows:
''1'he immediate cause Of the terrible
affair was the assembling of this conven~
ton. The remote cause was the bitter and
antagonistic feelings which has been grow
Ing in this community since the advent OF
the present Mayor, who in the organiza-
ton of his police force selected many des
perate men, and some of them known
murderers. People of clear views were
oyerawed By want of confidence in the
Mayor, and fear of the Thugs, many Of
whom he had selected for his police rorce.
| have been frequently applied to by prom
iuent citizens on this subject, and have
heard them a. press fear and want of con-
fIence in Mayor Monroe. ever since the
intimation of this last convention ! must
condemn the course of several Of the city
papers for supporting by their articles the
bitter feelings Of bad men. As TO the
mcrciless manner in which the Convention
was broken up, | feel obliged to confess
strong rcpu%nance.
''it IS useless TO attempt to disguise the
hostility that exists on the part OF a great
many towards northern men, and this UNI
fortunate affair so precipitated matters
! that there Is now n test of what shall be
the status of northern men. whether they
can live here without being in constant
danger and dread whether they can be
protected in life and property. and have
justice in the courts. III this matter is
permitted to pass over without thorough
and determined prosecution Of those en-
gagged in it, we may look out for frequent
scenes of the same kind, not only here
but IN other places. No steps, IS yet, have
been taken by the proper authorities to
| arrest citizens who were engaged in this
| massacre, CT policemen who perpetrated
such cruelties. The members of the con
! yention have been indicted by the gIand
jury, and many OF them arrested and held
/ TO bail.
"As to whether the civil authorities car
mete out ample justice to tho guilty on
| both sides. 1 must say 1t Is my opinion
| unqUestIOnably, that they cannot.
Judge Abel, whose course / hare closely
watched for nearly Il year, | now consider
one of the most dangerous men we have
hcre, to the peace and quiet Of the city.
The leading men Of the Convention
King Cutler, Hahn and others have been
political agitators and are bad men. re-
%ret to say that the course of Gov. We /,
has been YaScillatin@, and that during the
late troubles he has shown very little OF

Speech BY Gen. Butler.
New York, August, Dot

New York, August, Doth
AT a political meeting held at Glouces-
ter last evening Gen. Butler was one of
the speakers. The HeraiuS dispatch says
Gen. Butler on being introduced said the
issues now before the country were the
same, substantially, as those Of 1861, and
in this connection he proceeded to trace
the causes which led to the rebellion, and
the part taken by the Southern States to
overthrow the Government. He contend
ed that by their rebellion they had forfeit
ed their property, their rights, and their
lives. Passing on. he spoke of the rights
of southrn representatives, to receive the ir
seat in Congress and said that If any por-
ton of the Southern States had sent a lov>
al man TO Congress it was only to get him
admitted, and when he was admitted they
would send disloval man Referring to
the Philadelphia Convention, it was com
posed of a set OF men who proposed TO
settle war which they did not fight but
which they opposed in all possible ways,
and 1t is the intention of the people to
know by wi at right they arrogate to
the fighting are to do the settling. He
characterized that body as the most re-
markable that ever assembled, and said
that the delegation from neither section
represented their constituents.
He then referred to the New Orleans
riot and read portion Of the correspOn-
dence relating to it, and said the whole
tenor of President Johnsons dispatches
to General Sheridan was to gloss over the
terrible affair. If this state of things
cannot be altered the General continued
we viii march once more, and woe be TO
them who oppose us
In considering the constitutional amend
ment recently adopted by Congress, he
said he was not in favor of the one rela-
ting to negro suffrage, but accepted it as
the best he could get He was in favor
OF free ana impartial suffrage, and would
try by every means in his power, in
whatever position he might be placed, to
secure it.
In concluding his speech, the General
said that unless the people of the north
were firm in upholding their Congress,
they will have their work of the last four
years to do over again. The General was
frequently applauded during his speech.
