TULLYVILLB DESERTED.
Successful Ball of the fully Associa-
ton Last Night.

There is a certain section of the Heights
which is populated by about two dozen
families by the name of Tully. and the
place is known as Tullyvile. Tullyville
was dark last night. Hardly a house in
the whole place had a light in it, and the
streets were deserted. The cause of this
loneliness in Tullyville was the ball at
Pohlmann's Hall last night of the James
J. Tuily Association, the standard bearer
Of which is the Mayor of the place.
The hall was crowded. Friends of the
popular Tullyville Mayor came from far
and near to honor the great and only
Jimmy The hall was prettily decorated
in honor of the occasion, and nothing was
left undone to make the ball and enjoy

ENGLISH HARRIS DOSE.
Man who Figured in the Snsth-Ben-
nett Case Fries Suicide.

Harry Thorp, alias "Coppers,' or Eng
lish Harry" as he is most commonly
called in Hoboken, had a quarrel yester-
day with his wife in their home at No.
419 Jefferson street. AT its close he went
into a room and drank the contents of a
bottle of laudanum. Those who know
him well laugh and say he only wanted
to scare his wife.
A fourteen-year-old daughter saw her
father take the poison and told the rest
of the family. Harry Thorp, Jr.. then
ran to police headquarters and reported
that his father had become unconscious
from drinking some laudanum. An am
bulance was sent to the house with De-
t~ectives Nelson and Quinn. Thorp was
brought to the station house and DR..
Simon ave him an antidote. He was
then hustled off to the hospital uncon-
scious, but he revived a short time after
his arrival there.
Thorp is an old offender in Hoboken.
Some sixteen years ago, while serving a
term in the county jail, he figured promi-
nently in the famous Smith-Bennet
murder trial. He was on his good be-
havior and acted as a turnkey, 1t was
he who picked up and put together the
fragments of letters which passed be-
tween the prisoners for the use of the
prosecution. The letters nearly hanged

CONVENIENT SICKNESS.
Boctar Converse Examines Ouiglsy
Who. Es Els Said Is. SEaammfng. +

County Physician Converse reported to
Judge Hudspeth this morning the result
of his visit to Michael ]. Quigley, the
alleged policy dealer, whose trial has
been postponed several times en- account
of his illness. Judge Hudspeth has been
receiving information from some source
that Quigley is sick only on the days
of his trial, and that he has been seen
on the street when he was supposed to
be in bed. It is said that the informa-
ton came from the mother of Oliver
Burns, who turned States evidence.
Burns is in the County Jail and cannot
get out until Quigley is tried.
DR.. Converse reported that he found
Quigley in bed and in a seemingly very
bad condition. He complained of very
severe pain, but. of course, the doctor
had to take his word for that. DIR. Con-
verse said he would not take the respon-
sibility of saying that it would be safe to
compel Quigley to go to court. Judge
Hudspeth had Burns brought over from
the Jail and released him on bail, Henry
Bowling becoming his bondsman.
The application mad by Lawyer James
J. Murphy to lave Francis Drums bail
reduced from 5000 to 1900 pending the
result of a writ of error was denied by
Judge Hudspeth this morning. Lawyer
Murphy says he will appeal to the Chan
cellor.

INTERESTING INSURANCE SUIT.
Executors of tIe late G. a. w oolser
Feale- an Isn pnrtant Poiut.

In a suit which came up before Vice
Chancellor Pitney yesterday afternoon an
extremely interesting question cropped up
which affects those who benefit by insur-
ance. The question was raised by Messrs.
w. D. Edward and James d. Northrup
and simply stated is: If a beneficiary of
a mans insurance policy dies before him
who makes the policy, does the amount
of the policy go after the makers death
to his heirs and estate or to that of the
beneficiary? The suit before the Chan
ceilor was that of a bill filed by Charles
A. Woolsey's executors for instruction.
Mr.. Woolsey insured his life in Novem-
Der. 1857, in the Mutual Life insurance
Company for 10000. and in the policy
his wife. Mary A., was named bene-
fciary. She died a year before him and
at his death his estate went into the
bands Of the executors, Messrs. Frank
#oolsey. r. A. Simpson and .Ian1es 3
Northrup. After Mrs. WooIsey's death
her husband omitted to change the name
Of the beneficiary and still continued nav
ing up the interest.
Mrs Moolsey died intestate and tie

alice Wooisey as administrative. When
an atteTnp. was made 10 collect the
amount OF the policy the insurance COM
