DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR.

GDilant Member Of the Ninth Regiment
Takes His Life to Prove His Courage.
Twenty-ffth street was IN fever OF excitement
yesterday at one O'Clock, owing to the birth OF q
painful rumor which afterward proved too true. A
crowd assembled before No. 222 and looked long
and earnestly al the closed windows OF the house.
terrible tragedy mad occurred there-One OF the last
and perhaps the worst OF the Orange riot.
Mr.. Edward J. s. Gafrney, gentleman OF courage
address and determination, beloved by every one
who enjoyed his acquaintance, wit and humOr-
ist of no m common order was member OF Com
pany II. Ninth regiment, National Guard. On
Wednesday, the morning OF the riot, his young wife
locked him III his room and prevented HIM from
lieving that there would be no difficulty
between the military and the people, he laughed at
his wife, made no attempt to break out, and lay
down and slept until evening. He got very much
excited when he heard the news OF the riot and the
loss OF lfe and could not be appeased. He brooded
melancholy madness. This continued until yester
day. when it had q terrible termination. Having
heard that his absence from his post IN the regiment
was commented on by his comrades, he grew very
much worse and about twelve O'Clock, while sitting
at the dinner table, suddenly produced q razor,
which he had concealed on his person. and drew 1t
across his throat An alarm was given Immediately,
and DR.. Edward Bradley. OF West Twenty fourth
street. rushed to the scene. Two other physicians
afterwards arrived; but their efforts were useless
The gentleman expired in the arms OF his friend,
Mr.. W. u. stephens, who opportunity arrived. MI
Ga1fney received the consultations or religion from
two pastors of his church while he was yet con-

THE LONG ISLAND METHODISTS.

No Trou bIe-A Probable Sensation Spoiled

There was an announcement Yesterday morning
that there would be trouble in the Methodist church
at Rockville Centre the same that proved so militant
D few months ago. There is IN dispute the organ,
che communion service and rent OF parsonage.
Ehe rumOr was current that while service
proceeding the trustees would enter the
Church and demand an explanation regard

have been no ground for any such state
ment. The trustees have concluded to follow the
advice or counsel, and were advised 10 make no
hostile demonstration OF any sort, or TO even ask
for these articles. The marked out Is to leave
the settlement Of the whole affair to the courts To-
day action Is to be tried Jamaica to recover
the communion service Then a second Is to he

place, which resulted in having the church placed
under interdct, has not yet altogether ceased.
The and progress OF the AFFAIR have been fully
and fairly stated in the columns OF the HERALD SO
that by ;:iis time the public Is well aware OF the
Uituation.
This morning the pastor, Rev. Father O'Sullivan.
said in his house, the church being still under
an interdic The feeling is intense on the subject.
and II Father O'Suvan could raise his interdict,
which fOrbids his adherents interfering violently
with his traducers, there would be ''wigs on the
green" and the church doors would be quickly
opened, and the rebeOus spirits speedily squeched.
This evening very large majority OF the congre.
cation assembled at Father OSullivans house. The
accounts OF the church were examined and found TO
be correct. Resolutions were then drawn up and
unanimously adopted, expressing the unbounded
confidence reposed in Father O'Sulivan by the good
and worthy members Of the congregation, and repu-
dating the vile conduct OF the disreputahle few.
