A TRUNK MYSTERY.

Yesterday a communication was received by Coro-
ner Young from the Office Of the Board of Health
requesting HIM to investigate the circumstances
attending the transfer of a body from Alabama to
this State without proper authority, the casket con-
tanning the deceased having been conveyed by
Adams Express Company to their office in this

with the inscription, "The remains of 5. X. Scher-
merhorn, engineer N. & Sa. r. II. ; died here of gun
shot wound, Selma, Alabama. H. Bachus, NJ. d."
The destination of the body was Schenectady, and
the friends were probably notified Of its being for
warded to them. The outer case was opened and
found to enclose rosewood CONN, containing the
body OF deceased. A post-mortem examination made
by DR.. Marsh showed that death was the result OF
pertontis, following gunshot wound on the right
side of the abdomen. The body was In good state
Of preservation, and appeared to have been en-
balmed Mr. Young telegraphed to the authorities
in Alabama, and requested that all proper informa-
tion relative to the death OF Schermerhorn be for

BROOKLYN COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS.

The appointing powers sfor the Police Board and
Board OF City Works put an end to the fears of the
expectants yesterday afternoon by filling the
places. The lucky candidates were as follows -
Police Commissioners-General James Jourdan,
United states Assessor, and Sigismund Kaufman.
Members of the Water Board-Samuel Mclean and
Lorin Palmer members of the Academy Reform
Committee Of Seventy-fve. The disappointed APP
pcants were Assembymen Colonel Morton, ex-
Police Captain o. b. LEIGH, Supervisor S.
Il. butcher, ex-Deputy United States Marshal
Fred Cocheu, Deputy Comptroller ex-Alder-
man Whiting and one or two others. Mr..
Kaufman, who ran for Lieutenant Governor
two years ago, is resident OF the Eastern District
and Is backed by the German element. He is also
OF the signers OF the call for the Liberal Greeley
Republican Cincinnati Convention. General Jour
dan who formerly commanded the Fourteenth
regiment, National Guard, is q strong Grant adj
herent, and ii is believed by the federal representa-
tive men of Kings county that the remembrance of
the claims Of Mr.. Kaufman I'm this generous re-
minder will have the effect of reunting the strag-
Cling ends OF the Grant column for the federal
paIgn. The new members Of the Board OF City
Works are merchants and men OF the highest
integrity, who have not heretofore either sought
for or held any public office whatever.
Late in the afternoon the Police Commissioners
were sworn in and filed their bonds. They then
paired to headquarters, the scene Of their future
where they met the democratic member OF their
Board, Commissioner Daniel ID. Briggs. They
shook their future colleague warmly by the hand,
hoped their official connection would be happy
one, and, arranging for meeting on Monday morn
inQ neg took their departure.

The body received at the offlce OF Adams En-
press Company, in this city, on Friday, suppose to
be tnat of the late SOL X. Schermerhorn, who died
at Calera, Ala, Monday last, from the effects of
a pistol shot received in difficulty with John
Lewis. The particulars OF the unfortunate affair,
learn them from the Selma tAla.) Daily Times,
are as follOws:-
A difficulty occurred at Cacra, Sunday last between
John Lewis and Sol. SChermerhOru engineers the
South and North Railroad and Mr. Bailey, fireman, in
which the latter severely II not dangerously
wounded. | seems that Schermerhorn had forbade
Lewis in previous difficulty going upon his engine and
instructed his remain Baieyto put MIN on should he ever
attempt to do in his absence on sun
day, while the two engineers at gaera, Lewis went

the fireman, he cut him severely the throat Going to
report has It. In menacing manner when Lewis fired
him. the ball taking effect in the abdomen and
ing dangerous wound Mr.. Schermerhorn formerly
resident this city and Is held the highest estma
regretted by all his friends.
The Times Of later date states that a despatch
was received at Selma on the 10th inst announcing
the death OF Mr.. SchermerhOrn at Calera.
Mr.. Schermerhorn was a native OF New YORK, ana
1t Is reasonable TO suppose that his remains were
shipped from Calera or Selma with the intention OF
having them Inferred in the family burial ground at
schenectady where his relatives reside had known
Mr.. Schermerhorn personally and intimately since
1859. He was an energetic, philosophical and
heightened gentleman, and his untimelv death will
order that the public may be informed as to the
cause OF his death, and that the matter may no
longer be involved in mystery Respectfully,
M, j. WILLIAMS.
