New YORK, Aug. 16.-Joseph Hass fatally
stabbed VIM. Kortman and Frederick ResSler
last night in q saloon on West Forty-fourth
street.
The call for the proposed public meeting
about the frauds in the city accounts has about
two thousand signatures, including prominent
democratic property holders, and the committee
which is directing the movement yesterday de-
termined to defer public demonstration until next
month, because so many business men are now
absent from the city. 1t is then proposed to
have several mass meetings the same evening in
the different parks. Charles O'Connor is among
the numerous speakers expected to address the
people at these meetings.
Early yesterday morning, as John Mccoy was
passing through Seventh avenue he was struck
on the head by brick, and injured so severely
that the wound will probably prove fatal. Police
Captain Burden, who witnes Sed the occurrence,
ran into the building from which the missile
had been thrown and arrested Patrick Conroy
and Andrew Brien, who were attempting to es-
cape to the roof. They were committed to
await examination.
Prominent Cubans in this city, identified with
the cause of the revolution, state that there is
a project on foot in the Spanish-American re-
public, whereby Cubans will receive not only
moral but financial aid. They assert that there
is very good prospect that some of the repub-
lies will guaranty a Cuban loan in foreign mar
kets, and that before great while expeditions
will sail simultaneously from different Spanish
American ports to aid the Cubans. A Cuban
emgrant vessel, under the control of the daugh-
tiers Of Cuba, will sail from this port to the
tropics in September with all who may have APP
piled for passage.
The cause of the Jersey City fire last Sunday
night is still unknown, but it is believed that
two barrels of kerosene oil exploded in the base
ment. The bodies recovered yesterday are pro-
badly those of Durancy and MCGEE, the pro-
prietors of the liquor store, as they were seen
in the store short time before the explosion,
and have not been seen since, though the detec-
tiyes believe the bodies those of the dupes en-
ployed to fire the building, and that the terrible
results of the fire prompted Durancy and Nc
Gee to leave the country. Five persons were
burned to death, five persons are suffering from
severe injuries, four families are rendered home
less, and valuable property destroyed, are the
result Of this attempted fraud on insurance COM
panies.

swers returned this afternoon.
