A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.
Fight Between Undertakcrs Over Dead
Body.


There was a dead person in East Ninety-eighth
street on Tuesday last, to bury whom two under
takers had been notified by mistake. These were
Mr. Hart the sexton of st. Patrck's Cathedral, and
Frederick Lanz, OF 1,477 Third avenue Hart's
assistant, Hugh McConnellough, and Lanz, met in
the house where lay the corpse, and each claimed
the right to the exclusion of the other to the prepa
Iaton for and burial OF the remains of the departed
The upshot of the matter that they struck each
other, and held sparrfng exhibition for some
moments across the body Of the corpse, which did
not, however, like that Of Tim Finnegan jump up
from the table to take hand in the scrimmage
The two undertakers had 1t all to themselves, and
no one thought IL worth while to interfere They
fought round the house, down the stairs, and never
stopped until they reached the sidewalk, all the
time raining blows thick and fast upon each others
skulls McConnellOugh was at length declared
the victor and he 1t was accordingly who had the
honor and the profits OF the funeral. But he was
destined lose part OF tho glory he had achieved.
Yesterday he was arragned at the Yorkville Police
Court, where sat Justice McQuade, whose sense OF
proprety was evidently much shocked on hearing
the facts in the case He considered McConnelough
to blame in the matter and held him 70 bail In $500
