somewhat singular case was yesterday devel-
oped before Deputy Coroner Cushman. Mary Van
Houten, a woman thirty years Of age, died at her
residence, 4s Scanned street, az was supposed,
from purely natural causes. On the ed Of November
last the deceased lived No. 90 Gouverneur street,
and in the same house was Della Quinn, young
woman, who occupied apartments there with her
mother and other relatives During the day
a disturbance occurred between Della and
Mrs. Van Houten, during which the former, as
alleged, threw a pot OF hot tea over
her severely Della was arrested for the
assault, but after seven days. incarceration
was discharged in consequence OF the non-appear-
ance OF the complainant. Mrs. Van HOuten, a
woman OF Incorporate habits, was attended by
several physcians but the wound did not fully
heal, and becoming worse, she died two Or three
days since.
DR.. Cushman made post-mortem examination
on the body OF deceased and found chronic disease
of the liver, which was or enormous size, weighing
some sixteen pounds. In the opinion OF DR.. Cush-
man death resulted from exhaustion, consequent
upon liver and kidney disease, which possibly may
have been accelerated by the scads; but AS to that
DR.. Cushman Ii not prepared to say. BY request
Captain Mount, OF the Seventh precinct, made
search for Miss Quinn. and on Tuesday night she
was arrested and detained at the station house.
Coroner Schirmer will hold an inquest on the body
