Ne FsddIsd LeaoAs for Fifty Years aaS
Left . 100000 Estate.

Thomas Brannigan, an eccentric octogenarian.
died yesterday morning in the Brooklyn HOspi-
tai, leaving an estate estimated at from SIS, 1000
TO 500, 900. In the Fourth ward. BROOKLYN,
where he had lived for more than hRlfa century,
he was Familiarity known as Lemon" Branni-
gan, his only occupation all through his life be-
ing TO peddle lemons In barrooms in Brooklyn.
He was very penuriOus, and lie invested his little
savings from time To time in the purchase of
real estate, which has steadily increased in
value. Until a year ago he lived all alone with
his widowed daughter in his big house at $50
Pearl street.
On a bitter cold night last winter he drove his
daughter out OF the house, and atteTward gave
her only a small pittance for her support. He
would have no association with his neighbOrs,
and TO isolate himself as much as possible he
raised the fence around his house Ia the limit
the law allowed. Thieves have frequently made
attempts 10 rob him. and once or twice they
succeeded. He was missed on Friday, and when
the door was forced open the old man was found
lying on the floor unconscious. He remained in
that condition until his death in the hospital.
There Is little suspicion of foul play, but Coro-
ner Kene has ordered an autopsy. The daughter
is supposed to be the sole heir OF the property.

Mr.. Clarke was graduated from Dickinson

clergyman Of q little over ten years, lie met
with remarkable success both In Philadelphia
and Brooklyn. In the course Of his passionate OF
two years in Brooklyn he freed Grace prcsby-
terrain Church from debt and nearly quad
rupled the membership. His success as a pas
tor, his mannerisms. and his peculiar type OF
pulpit oratory made him conspicuous in Protes-
tRnt church circles of Brooklyn. Il was his idea
that the dress Of q clergyman should be a part
OF his religion, and that the pastor should pose
before his people as n model Of %npatness. In the
pulpit he wore a double-breasted dress suit,
with a lOw-cut corded silk wbistCoat. His street
clothes were always elegant and cut in the most
modern fashion.

lie bought q lot In Greenwood Cemetery, near
tne grave OF henry ara Beecher, ana he ar
ranged for a monument. He wished his sisters
and brother to avoid wearing deep mourning.
and he requested that, his body he clothed in a
suit of white broadcloth. He wished also to
have his body taken to the church on the morn
ing OF the funeral day and left in the church
all day and over night, and finally removed to
the cemetery on the following morning. His
wishes have all been carefully followed out, and
a committee from the session has been appointed
TO watch with the body in the church tonight.
The circumstances surrounding the death OF
the Rev. Mr.. Clarke were exceptionally sad.
After an illness of eight months he had greatly
improved. He came on from Philadelphia on
Monday to meet his congregation on Wednesday
evening before sailing for a long tour In Europe.
On Wednesday morning a gall stone ruptured
the gall duct, causing n cOngestive chill which
resulted in. death in a few hours. When the
members OF the congregation went to meet him

NEw ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Advices from Blue
fields say that Calvin G.. Ausbern OF Pittsburgh.
the wealthiest American resident, has been ar
rested for participating in the July riots, although
he says he can prove he was attending a dinner
and took no part. He has laid his case before
Capt. O'Neil OF the Marblehead, which has re-
turned. Capt. O'Neil waited i at Port Limon two
weeks for instructions, and finally received word
from Washington that Zelaya had consented TO
permit American prisoners to land in Blueftelds
and settle their affairs, although still consider
ing them exiles and not entitled TO trial. This is
evidently all America will do for the prisoners,
abandoning the demand for speedy trial.
England gave even less comfort 70 its eIiles
and the Mohawk took them 10 Colombia and
Jamaica. IL has not dropped the case Of Vice,
Consul Hatch, however. Gen. Ortiz has escaped
from prison in Managua and n revolution doubt

Of the suits In which tho Government is inter

OF these cases are set fer the second Monday OF

the ground that they are in restraint Of trade

occurred after a brief illness on Sept. o. in
Apia, where he had resided during the recent

the hereditary chief. has been almost from the
commencement OF the war in rebellion against
the established Government OF King Malietoa.
The conspicuous and earnest loyalty OF Mamea
to the Government of Malietoa, whose intimate
personal friend and associate he was. made him
an object OF hostility to his neighbors, and he
was consequently compelled to live at Apia for
safety. His prominence as the companion Of
the King in the disturbed state of affairs, still
continuing TO some extent in his native district,

BUFFALO, Oct. 6.-The sixth day Of the trial Of
George Bartholomy opened with no apparent
diminutlon of public interest in the case. The
jam OF the curious in the court room was even
greater this morning than yesterday, and the
~tipstafrs barricaded the corridors as far north
as the entrance to the Mayors Office. The
various defenses set up for Bartholomy by his
counsel may be classified as follows:
First-Thc defendants mind was In such con-
dition at the time OF the murder that he was
not clearly responsible for what he did. This
condition was the result OF the Ats To which he
was subject In early life, together with nervous
ness over his domestic trouble.
Second William Z. Delaney was the seducer
of his wife.
Third Learning this. the defendant sought 10
compel Delaney to do what was right for her.
He wanted justice, not blackmail.
Fourth-The killing was accidental. and was
precipitated by Delaney. who attempted an as
sault on the defendant, who acted in self-de.
fence.
II was announced at the opening Of court this
morning that an adjournment would be taken
at $50 o'clock. so that the question Of the le-
gality Of holding court on. a holiday could not
be raised. Neither Mrs. Thorner nor Mrs. Bar
tholomy was in court to-day.
The first witness called was DR.. Osborne. who
testified that he had attended Bartholomy while
