Inquest Held.
An inquest was held to-day on the
body Of Agnes Reilly, better known as
Peg Reilly, found dead in a shanty on

with whom she lived, was shown to
have been on Sunday along with her. 1t

the affair. The physician stated that
death was caused by congestion of the
brain. The jury found a verdict that
the deceased came to her death from
congestion of the brain, and that the
prisoner was instrumental in causing
her death. McAuley was committed
for trial.
Sanitary Measures.
The Sanitary committee Of the Board
Of Health reports that, as a precaution
against cholera, great care should be
taken to have all the tenement houses
thoroughly purified and clea ned. The
result proved very satisfactory-small
pox has declined greatly and the gen
eral health Of the city has improved.
The streets are being thoroughly in
spected and, where necessary, disin-
fected. They pronounce the public
markets in filthy condition and de-
clare them sources Of pestilence, and
ordered them to be Immediately cleaned
and dsinfected. The Board is deter
mined to enforce its full powers in or1er
to preserve the sanitary condition Of
the city so as TO insure all practicable
safeguards against the approach Of
cholera.

Released by Mis- Bail.
Francis C. Howard, indicted in 1869
for completely in divers frauds, was re-
leased by his bail to-day. He gave
fresh bonds to the amount of $4,000.
The Extensive Forgery.
The only new developments to-day in
regard to the extensive forgery perpe-
trated yesterday in Wall street by Van
SAINT is that the swindler actually sue
cessfully obtained the full amount Of
forged paper printed at the Bank OF
New York and made his escape with
exactly $4,000 in gold coin. His part
ner, Z. NJ. Harris, of the firm Of Z. NJ.
Harris IL Co., has sent letter to the
Stock Exchange, in which he says he
was persuaded by Vansant to leave his
office earlier than usual yesterday after
noon under pretence OF important bus-
ness up town, which required his ( Har-
ris' immediate attention. During Har-
ris' absence the forgery was executed
There is no trace OF the swlndler.
The Bark Linda.
The first and second mates and Louis
Schlader, seaman, of the bark Linda, Of
Philadelphia, which foundered in a
hurricane on the 25th inst, have ar
rived here. The first mate states that
the power of the cyclone was fearful,
and also expresses the belief that the
boat containing the captain, steward and
four seamen must have swamped.
Examination Of ROsenwiS's House.
The police made another examina-
ton OF Rosenwigs house to-day and
found large number Of letters and pa
pers, showing his complication, with a
number of persons, in nefarious busi-
ness. A man from Brooklyn came to
the Morgue to-day and recognized the
girl as a servant in his house some
lime ago. 1t is thought, however, that
he may be mistaken, as three different
recognitions have been made. All the
recognizers are probably mistaken.
The statement that she was the niece
of Rosenwig is disproved by the fact
that Rosenwig's nieces name is on the
passenger list of the steamship Bremen,
which sailed several weeks ago. The
abortionst, DR.. Rosenwig, alias Oschar,
received his diploma from the American
Institute, OF Philadelphia.
Political.
The action of the Union Republican
organization, in delaying the call for
State Convention till the last of Sep
tember is this morning strongly con-
demned by the Tribune. 1t says that
the reorganization OF the Republican
party of the city was a movement on
the part of the Federal office-holders
and aspirants for Government places to
further personal objects and secure the
reelection of Senator Roscoe Conkling.
The Chairman of the State committee,
Mr.. Cornell, holds the best Federal
office in the city, and has delayed the
opening of the canvass to within few
weeks of the election, in order to pack
il with nominees and Federal office
holders. Many of the Senate and AS
