New York Herald The coroner wac
notified yesterday ot the death of
Nicholas Odenwald NJ the Ward Island
Lunatio asylum. No particulars OF the
manner or cause OF his demlee could
be asoertalned, and when u reporter
questioned Steward Kennedy In the
institution on last night about the case,
that official declined 10 say anything
whatever about IL, aud expressed his
convictions that the developments OF
the coronvr's Inquest would be quite
ample and would appear nj sum,
elently early date b satisfy the public.
Hia retlcence was readily understood
when II was learned that u Tumor was
atloat among the inmates OF the
Island that Odenwald had not died "A

Commissioners Brennan, on being
called on last night, oheerfully fur

OF November aud was placed 10 ward

maniac aud 10 was put in u room with
two other Insane people Odenwald
seemed 30 much occupied by his own
eIretic fancles that he paid little heed
to his surroundings, aud, II his room
mates ever became obnoxious TO him,
no did not betray his feelings. On
wednesday morning, however, some
time before daylight, the lunatic arose
from his bed and CROPPED about
the room. Only a faint, ilicierlng
light was shed in the apartment
by the corridor lamp, but by Il
one or his room-mates, apatient nam
ed Butler, whom his movements had
awakened, saw him gliding TO and
fro with his face contracted and a wild,
fierce glare In his eyes. Suddenly, In
the delirium ofhis madness, he turned
toward the other bed and stared for
moment az the halfawakened man.
Then, with " snarl like wild beast,
he spraDg upon him, tore him from
his pallet, hurled him on the floor, ana
throwing himself upon the PROSTATE
and bewildered creature he gnawed at
him with his teeth. Keeper Byrne,
attracted by the noise of the maniac,
burst into the room at this moment.
but Odenwald, rising to his feet, rush
cd upon him, and with madman's
ferocity, tore at his flesh. The keeper
was takeu aback by the audiences of |
the attack and he was maddened with |
pain. He struggled moment, re-
leased himself with an effort and hurl.
ed the maniac to the floor. Az Oden.
valid fell his head struck upon pail
In the room, and he lay there stunned
and unconscious. He was taken to
sick ward, but he never rallied, and
on Thursday night he expired.
Keeper Byrne Is reputed by some of
the island officials TO be good, trust.
worthy and competent man, but there
is an ugly rumor in circulation that
several times before this he has kicked
Odenwald and otherwise behaved un-
gently to him. The inquest will be
held to-day.

Might Associated Press Report.
A dispatch from Noyi Bazaar yester.
day, says four battalions OF Servian In
fantry, squadron Of cavalry and six
guns, arrived on the 9th instant at
Yaver; and the day after u number of
Servian troops crossed into Turkey.
A Constantinople dispatch says the
governor of Kossovo telegraphs on the
9th instant that Servian forces arrived
at Yaver and four Servian officials
crossed the frontier to Sienacka to de-
mand an explanation OF the presence
of Turkish troops there, and demanded
their Withdrawal by twelve O'Clock

mary, says Sulieman pasha depended
on his activity and energy, his best
hope for breaking through the Russian
line was to dash rapidly forward and
take the adversary by surprise. He has
hesitated either on account of finding
larger forces or stronger positions than
he expected In front of him, or because
the military which he had with him
could not stand the strain thrown upon
1t by rapid evolutions.
Since an unsuccessful attack made
against Prince Mursky, on Thursday,
the Ottoman columns heading toward
TirnOva seem to have made no move
ment of importance. Had they pushed
forward boldly, and grasped that inns
portant strategetical point, the Ottot
man commander would have been
able to harass the eighth corps and the
lett wing of the czarowitch, and could
have seriously impeded and embar-
raised their movements for cOncentra-
ton. His advancing forces seem to
have found the entertainments OF Ja'
vobletza too formid able.
Time has been given to the enemy
and now the whole OF the Sth and
18th corps with some other detach-
ments mastering probably about 3d..
600 men are at Timora. 1t Is doubtful
whether Suleiman is to push these
and persevere in his advances from
the western battalions Us there is no
movement reported, and for the mo-
ment it would seem that General
Gourgo has suspended operations until
the result OF Suleiman pashas offen-
slve advance is ascertained. An un.
easy feeling is becoming apparent there
lest settlement Of the eastern ques.
ton unfavorable to England may
be forced upon her by three
European emperors.
