The evening world., 1893-11-29

Last evening he chatted with several
members OF his family and appeared to
be on the road to recovery.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
his nurse discovered that the ex-senator
was unconscious and apparently dying.
The nurse aroused the household and
returned to the patients bedside just as
his life was ebbing away.
His physicians were summoned and
they responded promptly. but were too
late to be of assistance. They declared
that Mr.. Kiernan's death was due to
heart failure brought on by the attack
OF pneumonia.
Senator Kiernan's body will be buried
in Holy Cross Cemetery on Friday. The
funeral services will be held in ST.
Stephens Roman Catholic Church, Hicks
and Summit streets.
John ]. Kiernan was one of the best
known men in Wall street. and one OF
the most popular. He knew every bank
President. every trust company official
and every member of the Stock Ex-
change.
In appearance Mr.. Herman was a
marked man. He was about five feet in
stature, with a ponderous girth. making
him look as broad as he was long.
His face was florid, and overspread
with a genial, sunny smile. He was
dressed in the height of fashion, and was
known as bon vivant and clever
raconteur.
For years his Wall street news agency
was the standard of Its kind. He ran a
financial paper that was issued hourly
half-hourly or oftener. as the develop
ment OF financial news might dictate.
In 1879 he was elected to the State Sen
ate. He served his Brooklyn district
two terms at Albany, but It was a costly
experience, for he entertained on a royal
scale and was fully 100000 poorer at the
end Of his second term. He always was
contributor to every deserving charity.
He once declined a nomination for
Mayor OF Brooklyn.
He cared little for political preferment,
but it was generally believed that Presi-
dent Cleveland had fixed upon him to
succeed Mr.. Willis as Naval Officer Of
the Port OF New York.
His Office at "a Broad street was the
downtown rendezvous of politicians and
men OF "the street. His house in
Brooklyn was the home of refinement
and elegance. He had been a widower
for some years.
In 1857 Mr.. Herman was rated in Brad
streets az having an income OF $4,000 a
year from his business This came out in
the proceedings brought by the Colum-
bia Rolling Mill Company OF New Jersey
charging him with fraud and deceit in
stating to Bradstreet's that he owned
several specified properties in Brooklyn,
besides $4,000 worth OF bonds. Mr. kier-
nan was arrested. but was promptly
bailed. and the whole matter ended in
his favor.

THIS GHOST WEARS TROUSERS,
And 1t Is Also Suspected OF Possess
ing a Nustache.

The feminine and juvenile portion OF
the community around Eastern Park
way, Barley, Jerome and Warwick
streets, Brooklyn, have been in mortal
terror of venturing out after dark the
last two weeks because of the blood
curdling tales in circulation about an
alleged "spook" that stalks about at
unusual hours.
The "spook," which has come to be
known as the Black Ghost" because
of it's sombre attire, has lost much of its
terror for the neghborhood since its
latest escapade, Sunday night.
Related feminine pedestrians, who had
come in contact with it in its pere-
grinations through the lonesome neigh
borhood, described 1t as giantess in
stature. superlatively ugly of counte-
nance and possessing the supernatural
power of appearing and disappearing at
will like the genii of Aladdin's wonderful
lamp.
A number of women had been fright
ened almost out of several of their

man was finally detailed to patrol the

ercised its good judgment by lying low
but as soon as the policeman was called

Frederick and Charles Beadle. residents
of the neighborhood, came uron the
spook going through some suspiciously
vehement gyrations for spirit in front
of two women who stood before It,
motionless and paralyzed with fear.
The men made for the sombre-robed
figure, which indecorously gathered up
it's skirts, leaped over fence and 'ske-
daddled" like mad across lots and out
of sight. Such speed for female was
never witnessed.
AS the figure jumped the fence the
legs of trousers were exposed, and one
of the men thought he saw a mustache
under the heavy black veil.
Frederick Beadlc gave chase, but was
soon distanced. The ghost has kept out
of sight since. The residents say that
