Death of Commodore McKinstry.
From the Detroit Post Of Wednesday.

from the Detroit POST OF wednesday.
Commodore James P. McKinstry.
U. S. n, died at his residence in this
city yesterday noon. He suffered an
attack of apoplexy on Friday from
which he did not rally. He was born
in Hudson, New York, February 9.
1907, and was therefore &C years of age.
His father was colonel in the regular
army and served in that capacity dur
ing the war OF 1919. Soon after the
close of the war he removed to this
city, arriving here about the year 1917
He actively and prominently engaged
in business in this city for long time,
and subsequently removed to Ypsilanti,
where he died few years since.
Commodore McKinstry was appoint
ed to the navy from this state February
|, 1926, and during that time and the
subsequent year served in the navy
yard at Boston. In 1S29-30 he served
on the sloop Warren in the Mediter.
ranean squadron. He was promoted
to Passed Midshipman in 1882, and
was stationed at the New York Navy
Yard until 1884. He was commissioned
MS Lieutenant, February 8, 1887, and
served that year ON the sloop Concord,
in the West India squadron. In 1910
he served on the schooner Dolphin, in
the Brazil squadron; in 1s43, sloop
Falmouth, in the home squadron; in
1915 6, steamer Michigan, on the lakes;
in 1S47, sloop st. Mary, in the Pacific
squadron 1850 rendezvoused at Bos-
ton. In 1S54-5 he commanded the
mail steamer Georgia running between
New York and Panama.
He was commissioned Commander
September IA, 1858, and at the break
ing out of the war in 1861, he was sent
overland to China to take command of
the United States squadron then in
nese waters. This was delicate and
responsible intrust imposed upon him,
and his mission required secrecy and
the utmost dispatch, as the loyalty of
many officers of the navy, like many in
the army, was of a doubtful character,
to say the least. He performed his duty
TO the satisfaction of the Government,
and soon brought home the fleet.
He was then put in command of
the steam sloop Dakotah, of the block
aiding squadron. In July, 1862, he
was commissioned Captain, and was
placed in command of the steam sloop
Monongahela, in the Western Gulf
blockadipg squadron. Here he saw
active and laborious service, and bore
himself calamity in many hard fought
battles. He was present in the en-
gagements before Vicksburg and at
Port Hudson in 1868. In the latter en-
gagement he was seriously wounded, and
incapacitated for further active service
during the war. In 1865 he was placed in
command of the receiving ship at New
York. He was commissioned Commo-
dore July %, 1866, and placed in COM
mand of the naval station at Sackett's
Harbor. He was subsequently trans
ferred to this city as Lighthouse In.
spector. In 1871, after As years active
service, he was placed on the retired
list, and since that time he has lived
quietly at his home in this city, sur
rounded by many warm friends. He
was brave and gallant officer, and
deserved well of his country. He leaves

Having established the identy of the
cardinals chronometer, Torrini's next
object was to pass into the pope's
pocket the one he had thought the
previous evening. AS this could not
easily be done while his holiness re-
NAMED seated, the magician hit upon
n pretext to make him rise. Placing a
brass mortar, with an enormous pestle,
upon the table, he threw in the frag
ments of the watch, and began pound
ing furiously. Suddenly slight de-
tonation was heard 4; lurid flame shot
up from the vessel, into which Torrini
gszed with an expression of profound
astonlshment. Respect for the pope
prevented the audience from rising :;
but his holiness, curious to see the
cause Of the copiuror's interest, APP
preached the table, and looked into
the mortar.

it is because the hight dazzels my eyes,

Torrini then begged him to come
round and choose more favorable
point OF observation, and, as he moved,
dexterously slipped the reserve watch
into his pocket. The cardinals chron
ometer had now been reduced to a
small ingot. Holding it up before the
spectators, the magician said

TO its original shape, and the transfer

"Ah!" said the Pope, with an ex-
preston of jocular incredulity; ''that
is promising good deal. What
should you do if | asked you to select
my pocket"
"The orders of your holiness shall
be obeyed," said Torrini, who, on re-
c2iving an asserting signal from the
Pope, took the ingot in his fingers.
showed it to the company and uttered
the word "Pass" when it instantly
disappeared. Plus VII, with an in-
credulous expression of countenance,
put his hand into his pocket. He had
already done so when he showed signs
of confusion, and, drawing his hand
out, brought with it the watch, which
he quickly passed to the cardinal, as if
afraid of burning his fingers.
There was great establishment among
the dignitaries of the church when his
eminence, on examining the watch,
declared it was the very one that had
been made for him by Breguet, and
which they had seen crushed to pieces
by the coniure. The mystery was in
creased when Torrini declared that he
had fulfilled his promise, and had only
tested the superiority of the chronme-
ter
The next day the pope sent him a
rich diamond snuff-box, with thanks
for the pleasure his performance had
afforded. His fame was now at its
height. Attracted by the news of his
wonderful exhibition, crowds focked
to see the magician who had accom-
plished such marvels. They did not,
however, have the qualification of wit
Messing the famous trick of the
broken watch for the expense of
undertaking an experiment, which
could never again be repeated under
such favorable auspices, would be war
ranted only by the circumstances
which originally brought together the
pope and the coniuror.
