NEW YORK, July 26.-Hubert O.
Thompson, the well.known leader Of
the County Democracy organization
and ex Commissioner Of Public Workt
OF this city, died from apoplexy at the
Worth House, corner Broadway and
Twenty-hfth street, this morning. The
exact hour Of his death IS not known
as there was no one with Mr.. Thompson
at the time.
Early yesterday morning he was
taken very i'll, and DIR. Charles r.
Roberts, under whose treatment he has
been for several years past, was sent
for. He prepared a potion for his pa
tient and left him somewhat easier.
Later In the evening 1t was again found
necessary TO have recourse to the doc
tors services, and accordingly he was
called in. DR.. Roberts remained with
Mr.. Thompson until 1 30 o'clock. Az
that time he was quite lively, and spoke
OF going to Sharon Springs at / o'clock.
The doctor left Mr.. Thompson lying OF
his bed in the sleeping apartment, W lille
he retired to rest in an adjoining room.
At about 8 O'Clock DR.. Roberts woke
up After completing his toilet be
entered Mr.. Thompson room at twenty
five minutes to 10 o'clock, when he
was startled by seeing his patient dead
The body lay on its right side, with the
legs drawn up. The eyes were blood
shot, and the face, In fact the entire
body, was livid. The pupils OF the eyes
were also dilsted. DR.. Roberts at once
summoned Mr.. Loud, superintendent
of the Worth and Hoffman Houses,
which are under one management.
The latter Immediately sent a mes
senger to No los Lexington avenue, to
notify Mr.. Thompson's parents OF their
sons sudden demise. They at once
hurried to the Worth House, where they
were Immediately ushered into the d cad
mans chamber. The scene which en-.
sued when the aged couple were with
their dead WAS very affecting.
DIR. Roberts said the immediate cause
of his death was apopltxy. a Coroner
was summoned, and this Off cial agreed
with DR.. Roberts as to the GAUGE OF
death.

As stated In yesterday's REPUBLI-
CAN, sparrow" Golden, who, 1t IL al
legged, acted as second for his brother
|"Nitchie," during the recent prizs fight
at the pier Of the Wilmington & North
ern Railroad Company, was brought to
this city about noon yesterday, and at
ii O'Clock this morning had q hearing
before Squire Bertolette. He was rep
resented by Harry Sharpley, Esq, and
| the hearing did not occupy mere than
fifteen minutes.
Joseph Y wilkins WAS sworn and
testified positively that he saw the ac-
cused at the fight, acting IS second for
his brother "Nitchie," that ne was in
the ring close TO him, and that lie heard
him say NOW then, Nitchis," when
ever he thought he could score point
VIM. FL. Hill affirmed aud stated tn at
he saw man In the ring that closely
| resembled the prisoner, but could not
say positively that he Is the man al
though ne thought he was.
This was all the evidence heard, and
the Squire ordered the prisoner 70 fur
nish bail In the sum OF 81, 900 for trial
at the next term of court.
The Every Evening yesterday, In
speaking OF "sparrow's" return to this
city, said:
"Sparrow Is large and muscular,
weighing perhaps 1876 pounds. He is
an EnRlishman by birth-a veritable
English sparrow-and is probably 80 or
80 years of age. His forehead reced 90
sharply toward the crown OF his head,
and pair Of bead like eyes dan ce ner-
vously under beetle brows. The small
pox has pitted his face badly, and alto
eether he is not picturesque.
As soon as the hearing was ended this
morning sparrow" approached the
Justice and said that he would like to
have @ warrant issued for the reporter
of Every Evening, as he had called hi m
an Englishman which was not true, for
he Is Irish ali the way through He
said he was stranger here ard did not
want the impression to get out that he
is An Englishman. Mr.. Sharpley die
suaded him from having the warrant
issued, and he returned with the Chief
to the hall.
Unless bail Is furnished before 8
O'Clock this afternoon, which is not at
all probable, the trio, consisting of
"Sparrow" and "Nitcbie" Golden and
Grady, will be taken TO New Castle,

READING, July 28.-Yesterday after
noon Peter 8. High, 4l9 Bell Alley, &C.
|companied by q number of other persons.
made miraculous escape from serious
injury while driving from Birdsboro to
Reading. Early in the morning the party,
consisting of Mr.. High, his mother, Mrs,
Mary High; a sister, Mrs. Dunkelberger;
Howard Shelby, wife and infant child and
Arthur Shelby; Mrs. Mary Seyfert and
son Howard, of Philadelphia, left Read
| ing In one Of liveryman James ID. Longs
double teams for drive to the Yellow
House, Amityville and Birdsboro. Every.
thing went well until after the party left
the Junction House, above Birdsboro, and
a short distance below Robson Station,
on the line of the Wilmington and North
ern Railroad. When about midway be-
tween the Junction House and Robson,
where the roadway crosses bridge over 0
small stream of water, one of the horses
SHE'D while on the bridge at some water
dripping down from an arch under the
canal, and jumping suddenly to one side
pushed the other horse over the edge of
the bridge, and wagon and occupants all
followed falling distance of about twelve
feet. Mr.. High, who was driving, at
tempted to jump from the carriage when
1t went over the side OF the planks, but
one of his feet caught fast in the harness
and he was thrown about ten feet from
the carriage, sustaining severe injuries to
his left leg and several severe bruises
about the head. Mr. Shelby fell between
the horses, both animals having fallen on
their sides, and sustained severe bruises
and internal injuries. One of the horses
commenced kicking, and narrowly es-
capped striking Mrs. Shelby in the head,
and but for the presence Of mind OF her
husband, who jumped on the animals
head, after which it lay quiet, she would
have been kicked to death. The wagon
was complete wreck, and the occupants
lay In one confused mass upon one
another. Miss Shelby fell upon her baby
which is only one year old, and the little
one sustained an ugly bruise upon its
head. Mrs. High was injured internally,
and suffered intense pain; Mrs. Dunkel.
berger, who is very stout woman, was
also injured internally and severely bruis-
ed about the body, while the others sus-
tanned severe bruises.
After extricating themselves from the
wreck the horses were taken back to the
hotel and the injured folks took q
Wilmington and Northern train for
Reading, where Drs. Bowman aud Eye
attended to their injuries.

Pennsylvania Railroad Relief.
In ltimorA Sun

The action Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and Oriole Lodge
OF Locomotive Firemen in voting at
their meeting In this city on Sunday
against going into the association of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
probably not have any effect upon their
standing as employees Of that company.
The relief association Ia not q compul-
sorry one, and there is no requirement
feature about 1t. An official of the
company says that on August l the
limit of time expires in which en-
ployes can join without physical ex-
animation and without the application
of the restriction of IS years as to age.
After August no one will be admitted
to mem bership over the age of As years,
or without physical examination, and
all applicants must have been six
months In the service.
The applications for membership to
be in before August l are very numer-
GUS, giving the actuary's Office at the
company building, corner of Calvert
and Centre streets, as much as IL can do.
1t Is believed that 80 per cent. of the
employees Of the Pennsylvania roads
centering at Baltimore will be in the
association In the prescribed time.
There Ia no compulsion about joining
the association, but the official did not
know what might be the action Of the
company If a disposition was shown TO
rebuke employees for joining, or to de-
prive them OF their right to do as they
please in that connection. The relief
association is intended to be benefit to
the employees, and for that benefit be
says the Pennsylvania Company PFC
poses to contribute handsomely.
