THE KAISER MYSTERY NOT EXPLAINED
Close OF the Investigation.

Coroner Schirmer renewed his investigation yes
terday into the circumstances attending the death
of Frank Kaiser the German butcher, late of $50
Broome street, who fatally and so mysteriousl,
injured on the evening Of the 10th inst, as pre-
v0usy reported In the HERALD. Several addi-
tional witnesses were examined but their testi-
mony shed no new light on the case. The jury are
somewhat Of the opinion that deceased told the
truth in saying that he was injured by being struck
in the abdomen by the shaft OF wagon to which
was attached a runaway horse, but as he made
two or three other statements as to the manner
In which he received his injuries, IT was
utterly impossible TO arrive at the truth. II was
alleged that Mrs. Walter had struck deceased sew
eral times In the abdomen or side while in the
lager beer saloon, but 1t was not proved. Deputy
Coroner Cushman, who made the post-mOrtem ex-
animation, testified that abscess Of the liver the
result OF violence, was the cause OF DEATH.
The jury found that deceased came 10 his death
In some manner to them unknown, and exonerated
Mrs. Walter from all blame in the matter.
The verdict seemed to be well received by nearly
all present, who Immediately repaired to their
homes.

'We, the Jurors. upon the testimony adduced, do

two O'clock by the had of John Fagan and died In
consequence OF the wound on the morning OF Sep

Clum and Pagan were fremen. connected with
the same company, and there was an old sore be-
tween them on account OF o race between them for
the fOremanship. Hence the ebution OF bad blood
toward Clum by his political ally.

THE BURNING OF THE B;ENvuLE.

A Government Investigation Into the
Causes Which Led to the Destruction
of tho Steamship On the 18th OF
August.
A so-called investigation into the causes which
led to the burning Of the steamship Bienville
of the Pacific Mail Company's line, was
commenced yesterday at the office of
the government inspectors OF steamships,
% Pine street. Mr.. Joseph Mershom, Inspector OF
Hulls, at Philadelphia, and Mr.. John X. Matthews,
OF this city, Inspector of Boilers, are the gentle
men named to conduct the investigation in this
city. Mr.. Matthews is the gentleman who in
spected and passed the Bienville few days before
sailing ON her last trip for Havana. 1t
is scarcely to be expected that he will
at this time reverse his previous Judgment and
much of the Importance which would otherwise
attach to the investigation is lost.
The inquiry commenced about eleven O'Clock and
a solitary witness could alone be procured to give
evidence at that time, and he was the only one no
appeared sa during the day Captain Ma%ry
sailed for Havana yesterday, their departure
being somewhat fastened by the fact that Deputy

win ., Of course course , drag very slowly along, and
turn. 1t is asserted that, had it not been for
defect In the donkey engine the vessel might have
been saved, and this is the principal reason which
has led to the present investigation.
The two Commissioners were seated at a table in
the Inspectors Office, when the reporter entered
engaged in examining W. f. BlOOm1eld u steve
dore In the employ Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
COMPANY who testified relative to the
loaded and the nature OF the cargo
she carried. He said the vessels deck contained
q large quantity OF hardware, but no combustible
materials OF any kind were slowed away near to It,
The vessel carried no explosive material
Of any kind, except small guam
tity OF kerosene oil, which was placed
In the hold removed from all other freight. It
was impossible for the kerosene to explode in
the position In which 1t was placed He thought
that the destruction OF the vessel could in way
be attributed TO the cargo or the manner In which
II was placed In the vessel.
At the conclusion OF this witness examination
the two gentlemen sat back in their seats, waiting
for the next man to put in an appearance, but he
did not come, and q messenger was despatched
after Mr.. Anthon, an Insurance expert, who
was expected to give some important testimony.
Mr.. Nathan was not In town, and at three o'clock
as no fresh evidence could be procured, an ADJOURN
ment was had until Tuesday morning when IL Is
expected some witnesses Will be forthcoming.
