advised him to appeal from the man

Mr.. Clark said this morning that the

The appeal cannot be argued before the
General Term until March next, and the
case may be taken from there to the
Court OF Appeals, which would postpone
the Improvement for an indefinite period.
1t Is not the object of MIR. Clark and
Comptroller Fitch to delay the improve

to adapt obstructive measures for Mr..
Fitch's protection.

paid for once before. He wanted time
to look into that point before he issued
the bonds and he ought to have IT.
The mandamus was obtained by Henry

EDBR0OKE A SUICIDE.
Well-Known Architect Commits
Suicide in Temple Court,
Ne Shot Himself Twice in the
Head.
Business Depression the Only Cause
Yet Known.

George II. Edbrookc, who atone time
was one OF the best known architects
In the city, committed suicide In his
Office in the Temple Court Building at
l2.45 o'clock this afternoon. He shot
himself in the head twice.
Beyond the depression in business no
reason 10 known at present for the sui
eide. His family relations are said to
have been OF the most pleasant nature.
For the past seven years Mr.. Ed
brooke has occupied the offices Nos. 300,
3o1 and COZ, on the third floor of Temple
Court.
When he took the offices first he was
regarded as being wealthy, and for a
long time his practice was of the most
extensive kind. Within the past few
years, however. 1t has dwindled materi-
ally.
1t is said that he speculated unfortu-
nately. and the losses sustained made
him Respondent.
Usually he was of the most cheerful
disposition, but during the past few
days even the elevate man noticed a
change in his demeanor.
The change was also noticed by the
clerks in his Office. so that when he en-
tered the office about noon to-day. look
Ing particularly downcast. they paid no
attention to him.
ne lnmeQiAtelN entered HIS private
Office. which is numbered 300, and closed
the door after him.
All was quiet for about half an hour,
nothing being heard save the rustlin &
of some papers which he was evidently
arranging.
Suddenly the sound of two pistol shots,
fired In rapid succession, alarmed the
clerks.
Rushing in they found Edbrooke lying
dead on the floor. BY his side lay n 49,
calibre revolver, while two holes over
she right temple showed where the bul.
let's had penetrated.
Tit clerks were so stunned that for a
moment they did not know how to act,
At last the police were notified and ar
officer from the Oak street station took
charge.
The police in turn notified the Coroner,
but up to 100 O'Clock that official had
not put in an appearance.
The body was allowed to remain where
It had fallen. and the police refused 10
allow IN one to see 1t until the Coroner
arrived.
The clerks were reticcnt. and refused
point-blank to give any information. No
one seemed to think II necessary to com
municate with the widow.

He was about ffty-two years old, and

POLICE AND DOCTORS AT ODDS.
Former Kept Away from May Bar
rowcliffe by the Latter.

II is expected that there will be trouble
between the police and the hospital au-
thorities of this city.
This Afternoon; DR.. Narick succeeded
in having Capt. Lange, of the police de-
partment, kept away from bothering
Miss BarrowcliNe. Ever since she has
been in the hospital Capt. LANCE has
visited the woman daily and piled ques-
tons to her, which the physicians say
have retarded her recovery, and DR..
Varick thought best to keep the Captain
away from her until she RECEIVERS.
Miss Barrowcliffe will be emoved
from the hospital tomorrow to the res
idenc of Warden Osborn where she will
be kept until she fully RECEIVERS. This
new trouble in her case has created a
great row between the hospital people
and the police.
