THE BROOKLYN MALPRACTICE CASE
The Brooklyn detectives were actively en-
gagged yesterday in endeavoring 10 unravel
the mystery surrounding the death OF An
tOinette Fenner, who died on Sunday from
the effects OF medical malpractice, at the
residence of her father, No. 6S President
street, South Brooklyn. A Mrs. Gale, who
was very Intimate with Miss Fenner, was
arrested by Detective Corwin on a charge of
being accessory 10 the crime which resulted
so fatally. When the deceased was first
taken i'll Mrs. Gale; IL is said, called on DR.
Olmstead, of Union street, and asked him if
he was attending the deceased. The ply
stefan informed her that he had had nothing
TO do in her case. Drs. Skene and Ford, who
attended Miss Fenner during her last illness,
learned from her parents the fact of Mrs
Gales visit TO DR.. Olmstead and Immediately

street tradesman. She utterly denies any
knowledge OF the transaction and says she
never visited DIR. 0lmstead for such pur-
pose. The woman is held for examination.
The police are in possession OF a clew that

A Ghost i'm "a Hail.

HANGED IN 1872 AND BACK AGAIN IN lS75-
THE PRISONERS SCARED AND THE KEEP
Hackensack, in Bergen county, has a sem
sation in the shape of a genuine ghost which
utmost CONSERVATION and alarm among the
prisoners and other inmates. The spirit has
been recognized as that OF john w. Avery,
the young man who was hanged in The Jail
phenomena which accompany the appear
ance OF the spirit were at first attributed TO
some plan of escape concocted by the pri-
soners, but recent developments prove that
such is not the case. A prisoner named Wal
lace, who was confined in the Jail in October
lest, and who was familiar with Avery, So
lemnly affrms that his spirit appeared one
night, and was distinctly seen TO walk
around one OF the tiers and pull the bed
clothing of German prisoner who was con-
T me 10 Inc cell formerly occupied by Avery
The story, and many persons who visited
Avery now remember that he made a solemn
promise before his death to revisit the jail
after his execution. The story of his latest
appearance seemed to be well authenticated,
several of the prisoners thoroughly agreeing
in their statement of the alleged facts. The
phenomenon occurred about midnight ON
Sunday, and there is no doubt that great
CONSERVATION prevailed among the prisoners.
AS is customary in all well-regulated ghost
stories, the clock had Just ceased striking II
when a soft, unnatural light illed the whole
interior OF the Jail and awakened all the pris-
oners. Some of them were terror-strickea
anu Durleu lDelr needS Denedt1 the bed
clothing, while others seemed to be paralyZei
so that they could not move, and were thus
compelled to be unwilling witnesses OF the
supernatural scenes and sounds that followed.
They solemnly aver that they heard one of
the windows raised and felt the cold air rush
in. Then the shadowy form OF a man, all
plainly visible except the legs, seemed 70
glide between the bars and up the stairs TO
the top tier of cells. The figure stopped in
front OF the cell which had been occupied by
Avery, and, opening the door, entered. The
ly heard. After the lapse of a few minutes
the figure reappeared, and its footballs on the
steps as IL descended again were distinctly
heard. The figure passed around all the tiers
of cells, and then fioated down TO the wash
room, and was heard TO turn on the water.
Finally the ghost return To the window and
disappeared as il had entered. and the blush
light graduAly faded away. This is substan-
TALLY the story as told by several OF the pris-
oners, who claim TO have been eyewitness.
and express their firm belief that they saw
Avery's ghost.-NtY Times, 1Ith.

a great success. The committee of arrange

the May, which under the auspices Of the
company, are recalled with so much pleasure.
Despite the inclemency of the weather,
about twenty young ladies were present, and
these together with good music, delicious re-
freshments and the best Of order, were well
calculated to. make one forget the cares and
vexations of the day, in the enjoyment of the
Festivities of the night. At an early hour in
the evening the couples led off in the ''giddy
nsgzes," and four o'clock IN the morning founl
the merry makers still: worshipping at the Terp-
sieherean shrine, and apparently as fresh and
elastic as when seven hours before they had
first saluted Their partners, and Emusic arose
with its voluptuous swell.'' One of the most
pleasant features of the evening was the cour-
tesy aad kindness shown by the members Of
the Company to the invited guests. At half
past four o'clock the ''reel'' was furnished and
the dancers departed for their homes each wish
ing many retsrns Of the occasion, and express
