tn INQUIRE INTO BRAKES DEATH.

Coroner Levy and Deputy Coroner Donlin visited
the District Attorneys office yesteTdsX AZ Msptne
TO investigate the of the death OF Jonh DRAKE
the lawyer who was shot by William U. Khlne-
lancer on June 10, 1884. Mr. Drake died on FRIDAY
AMI his death was attributed to pneumonia; but
Mr. MARITIME asked that II necessary post-mortem
examination shoud be made in order TO ascertain
whether death hdd mol Tho assault was
committed in Mr. brakes Office at No. ~ Cedar-st.
Mr. Drake had been the lawyer Tor the khinelanaer
family and William G. Rbinelander Thought tnat
he had been Attempting to influence ms wire 10
leave him. The marriage OF yonng khlnclanuor
with Magarita McGinDis, his mothers seamsIress,
had caused a disagreement between william y.
and his fathers family. Before the day for khne'
lander's trial for his assault on the lawyer ms
defendant was insane. Recorder Smyth appointed
Edward Patterson llr. William Detmold ana lawyer
Nolan as a commission to try the question oi
Rhlnelanders sanity, and when the commissioners
disagreed the Recorder sustained the position taken
by Mr. Patterson alone In favor OF Rhinelanders
sanity. Mr.. Drake was at that time. ten weeks ;t,s
after tho shooting unable to leave his room 70 give
his testimony in court. He was wounded In the
Rhineander was released on bail. 1t is doubtful
whether the case against him can be proven with-
out Mr.. brakes testimony.
Mr. Drake was to be buried to-day. The Board
of Health had given permit based upon the GER
tlficate of tho attending physicians, Drs. boze,,
man and Mlbank. Coroner Levy at once complieta
with tho District-AttOrneys request, ana wllm
Deputy-Coroner Donlin and Dr; ao i; y, fnTen, Ihn
lungs were missing. and the bone of the arm in
Which Rhineanders bullet lodged could not be
found 1t was learned later that DIR. Bozeman i naa
specir1en so Drs Donlin and Finnell went around
to No 298 FIfth-ave. and there made an examina-
ton of 1t. They found the bullet firmly im-
it works in the socket of the shoulder. But that
had no direct bearing on the case. DIR. Miibank
had the lungs at his house IN West forty-eghth-st.,
and they will be examined to-day to discover any
connection between their diseased condition aud
the general i'll health caused by the shot. IL IS be-
lIeve tnat Mr.. Drake died OF double pncumOnia'
cate and will not give until he is satisfied as to
the actual cause Of death.

FEES FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITIONS.

The Aldermen's Committee on Police aud Health
Yesterday made q report the proposed ordinance
relative to boxing, sparring, walking or running
and wrestling exhibitions. The original draft
provided that match or exhibition where an
admission fee is charged should be gwen without
a license from the Mayor who could grant or refuse
it as he saw tit. The Mayor was authorized TO hx
the license fee at not more than SloOO nor less than
SiO0 for each day The fees were 10 20 into the
Police Pension Fund. and any violation of the ordt
nance would be q nsdemeanor. The committee 40
not approye the ordinance as a whole They do not
think that amateur athletic clubs should be subject
to such law further than that any club before
giving an exhibition should receive permit from
the Mayor who can determine whether or not 1t Is
an amateur club and can control the character OF
the exhibition. The committee also think that dts
crinination should be made between resident and
foreign professionals In case Of the former the fees
might vary from $50 TO $500 day. while IN inter
national professional exhibitions 81 900 q day
should be charged All such fees should go into the
Sinking Fund The matter was laid over for week.
