O'clock Yesterday morning, when IT in

THE AUTOPSY.
The consent Of bis friends having been
obtained. an autopsy OF the body was made
by Or. klpley, OF Lexington avenue, assist
ell by Drs. Rice, El>berg, Otis, and DR.. ; e.
Nens, friend OF the family who had conc
on from Albany. The examination gave no
evidence Of puncture or strain OF the phl-
RINK, tracbea. or GsOphagus. These parts
were sent to DR.. Charles Heilzmann, late
lecturer on morbid anatomy in the Uniyer-
Slty OF Nienn1, who Was asked directly by
Dr. Elsberc If ne could ind any recent ante
mOrtcm rupture in those parts. His letter,
which the reporter read, answers in the
negative. Dr.. Ripley, who had the re-
cord of the autopsy, had gone TO Harlem,
and could not be seen at his home
Dr.. Flint and Oii> bad seen the deceased
gentleman only once, and did not know
enough OF the case 10 talk about It; and,
moreover. the former thought it was con-
trary 10 medical etiquette TO do so, and
therefore would not. Mr.. ReXfOrd was
found II his home. and told the reporter
that. a. ueiry a. be could ascertain the facts
from The physicians. death was produced
by acute pleurisy, small rupture having
been nide at the apX Of the left lung,
Whereby the air escaped INTO the cavity Of
the hear, * well H. into the tissues 81 The
face, ana in'eTfered with the normal action
81 The heart. This seems TO be confirmed
ny Dr.. EiSheTg's observation, who noticed
The subcutaseOus swelling Of the left jaw
OF deceased first, and then the right.
The mere pulling IN OF parts Il the body
with air is-noi alway> fatal. and DR.. Olis re-
lated case OF woman who suffered with
that trouble for some time, but recovered,
and i living today. But while the exam
ming phN.ic 10 DR.. h irtlelt's case be-
ieyc that TINS wa> The cause Of death, they
were unable 10 find the rupture in the lung.
Hence II Is supposed that there may have
been an old one, which. by some physical
eXertion Ut his on Saturday. was re0pened
with fatal effect. Had DIR. Bartlett lived
couple Of weeks longer be would have had
The pleasure Of dedcaiing new church edi-
ice which bis congregation have bullt.
The cOUsstOrv of his church came TO New
York Yesterday 10 take charge OF his re-
mains. which they viii take 10 Albany by
the 10 O'Clock train this morning, and on
I0uisGll the funeral services will be held
there. Iii. remains will be conveyed hence
TO POughkeep>ie for interment. DR.. Bart
