that to his Office are attached functions

John II. FinCk, was found between six
and seven O'Clock Tuesday morning
hanging by a rope about the neck to the
brake of Hudson River Railroad
freight ear on side track at the foot of
One Hundred and Sixteenth street, New

several hours.
Mr.. Finck lived with his wife and

last November he had been in business
with his father and younger brother,
William, at 600 and 602 Eleventh ave

Finck Il Sons, wholesale flour and feed
merchants. The father had invested
fortunately y in real estate, and when he
died in October last, was said to be in
dependently rich outside of the bus
mess, which paid him good income.
1t is said that the son John was of
reStlcs disposition. Before the panic OF
1873, he left his fathers business, and
with n few thousand dollars went to
Toledo and started Il confectionery store

Finck died last October, it was found that
the will appointed his brother Andrew,
a brewer; his nephew, the brewer son,
August, and his own son, William H.,
executors, but ordered an equal division
of the property between the two sons.
The proceedings for II partition of the
estate took time, and John H. Fiuck
had nothing to do and could get no

A peculiar accident took place about
about l.3O o'clock this morning in the
Sewing Machine store of Samuel x.
Speakman, in the old journal" build
ing, adjoining the City Hall. At the
hour mentioned large portion of the
ceiling becoming loosened fell with a
crash, scattering fragments Of plaster
and lathing all over the room ahd de-
moralizing in its descent a gas chanda-
lier.
A young man, employed by Mr..
Speakman as clerk, Was sleeping in the
room at the time Strange to say, he
was not awakened by the noise. The
gas escaped rapidly from the broken
pipes Of the chandelier, and had quite
a simplifying effect upon him. The re-
suit might have been serious had not
help arrived. Officer Kane, who heard
the noise, broke into the room, finding
it full of escaping gas, and awakening
the slunbering clerk. Another gas jet
was burning under full head in the
same room and a contiagraton as well
as the asphyXiation of the clerk might
have soon been the result, had not help

The cars start at the Shiplcy and

A crowded house was deserved by

programme, giving Il concert as the first

the second was much enjoyed, and
was complete success.
Here is the programme Of the concert

The piano playing of Madam Carreno
was leading feature of the first part.
In her tirst number, RhapSodie No. >,
by Ltz. there WAS II perfection Of style,
finish and expression which gave even
to this difficult composition a deliCaCy
that is unusual and which was properly
appreciated. Her playing at the sec
ond appearance Of Chopin's uoetrne
and Gottschalk 5 l'asquinadc was even
better than at first and the audience
gave her hearty encore, responding
to which, she played Il charming waltz,
MadaLl CayrcnO is also tine singer.
Signor Stantini in Verdi 5 All 81 Ben
Mic showed himself TO be u very good
light tenor with a voice in perfect train
ing, but he did himself more credit II
his part in II 1rovatore, which followed
later. But Miss Becre showed herself
to be a splendid vocalist. Her manner
is pleasing, her voice is Of excellent
quality and her powers are great. Her
encore after her first number was hearty
and she was favoritc during the even
ing.
Signor Tagliapictra was fortunate in
his concert selection, which he rendered
with splendid effect. 1t was well sung
and duly appreciated, and i'll the Opera
he did as well.
Altogether the entertainment was
delightful one. and the musical people
should patronize 1t tonight, when same
company will again appear with an en-
tircly new programme. The leading
numbers of Flotow's Opera Martha,
acts second and third, will be rendered.
