| The Cause of IcCulIough's Death.
New YORK, November 19th.-The dis.
agreement between Philadelphia and New
FORK physicians as to the cause of McCul-
loughs death, brings out variety of opin-
ions, the former adhering to the statement
made at the autopsy, that he died of blood
poisoning. DIR. Nichols, medical superin-
tendent of the Bloomingdale asylum, saws:
McCullough's case was typical of paresis.
My impression is, although dislike to ex-
press 1t, that his treatment after leaving
Bloomingdale FASTENED his death. To take
a man whose brain was in the condition of
McCullough's, and electrify him and mass
| age him, was calculated to hurry him to
the grave" DIR. Spitzka, one of the most
prominent specialists in diseases of the
brain IN this city, agreed thoroughly with
DR.. Nichols.

Bankrupt Broker Arrested.
NEW YORK, November 20th-A. M.-The
SIN has the following: William Heath,
of the bankrupt firm of Heath & Co., was
arrested on Wall street yesterday afternoon
by an Under Sheriff, who took him to the
Sheriff S office, where Heath was informed
that the order of arrest had been issued
against him out of the Supreme Court. on
Giovanni P. Morosini's suit to recover
$3.50, 900, and that half million bail was
required. He could not furnish the bail.
and Clerk McGOnigal took charge of him
and sent him to Ludlow street Jail.
Heath took his arrest very hard.
He seemed to be almost heart broken.
Heath told the Warden Immediately
that he did not want to see strangers or
reporters. The news of his arrest was re-
ceived so late that it was difficult to get the
particulars. Heath came to this city from
Boston during the war, and became a
member of the Stock Exchange, when il
was consolidated with the open Board of
Brokers in 1869. He was one of the most
picturesque men on the Board, being tall
and slender, swarthy as an Indian, and the
poSsessOr of a long, dropping mustache
and generally striking appearance. OF
late years Heath had spent most of his
time in Paris, where his wife kept house
on grand scale.
