A OH M Killed Arrest ef tha Mar tlarers rd Bradlev. an Inoffensive old man tlthtj-one j-ars ol ai?e, who has lor many Year w..t a tn.Kil iewelrv store at Mo. Ill FroDt atrtet. hi most, brutally murdered about 7 clock on Thursday evening. In nts store, by tone rufiaui. whose object wu plunder. From the evidence taken at the Coroner a Inquest, it appear that Bradley wai In the ttore, aud the jaoxuerers came in and knocked htm down. pMcd kirn by tylrifr a handkerchief into hU jaouth, and in thli way strangled btm, No jwarks of blow vta person, and Uere was n6 appearance Of blood, except from one or two slight scratches on hts face, or fro n feta rate from tho tflector strnnttulitlon, or on the bftoakirchlef which was bound across his nonth. The noise of a scuffle was heard by Jaoott Kirsh Md wile, add J. W. Arthur, who were in Kirsh's shoe shop, adjolnlne Bradlcv's store, and they also beard the breaking of glass. On 8010? out they discovered that glass was broken in Brad ley's door, and that the door, though closed, Its unlocked. All was dark inside, but they soon became satisfied that there was someone theie. Kirsh called to bis wife for a revolver, When a man sprang out ol Bradley's door, Jump ing arsrly across the sidewalk, and ran down Ferry street. Another man soon followed, who Wis seized by Kirsh and Arthur, and, after a harp struggle, in which tbe murderer threat ened to stab those who bad him, he was secured, aad the police arriving, he was tnken to the station bouse. lie turns out to be John Brooks, from London, Copland, raid to be an Encrllsh thief. Officer Ccsfrrove and Mr. T. H. Ilollister meantime arrived, and with Arthur and Kirsh went into the store, where Mr, Bradley was found on the floor, a" end, with tbe handkerchief tied across bis mouth. In falling he had struck a half buthel hand basket and partially crushed it, and also struck bis hind against an old clock -which was standing on ths floor, and broke the Jtlass of the eluck door. Ills (nine teeth were jlng on the floor near him, and a hat aud cap were also lound on tje floor. The pockets of his pantaloons were pulled out and torn, as if hastily nled. . John Brooks, the man arrested at the store, Is a brutal-lookiag fellow about forty years old. lie seemed perfectly careless and inciiflerent after his arrest, and beloie ten o'clock was fast aslrep in his cell in the station hoase, as if nothing bad happened. He is the man who - was married to Ann Matruire by the clerk of tbe police court at tbe police headquarters last Tuesday morning. Anu has often required at tention from the police, and was liberated from Jail Just before her marriaue. Since the wed ding tbe two bave been on a grand spree in fcew Britain, and the woman has been arreHed there. Brooks has been In jml recently. Officer Flynn whs present at the wedding of Brooks and Ann at the police headquarters Tuesday, and recoenized the cap found in Bradley's store as tbe one worn by Brooks at that time. Brooks, when arrested, had on a white bat, which Klynn also recognized as one he had seen on Alexander Henry, a negro living ,on Commerce street. He at once suspected Henry as beiLg concerned in the sourder. Both men prooably lost their hats when engaged in the murder, and Henry escaped without any, and Brooks took Henry's hat in stead of his own when be attempted to escape. Henty was arrested this morning, and the key of Bradley's safe was found upou him. In the safe was considerable money and lewelry Which had not been molested. Another neero lamed Samuel Long was also arrested, but sothinxyet appears implicating him with the murder except the fact that Brooks called on Long before the murder, and Long went security for some supper lor Brooks. Henry is a dull looking African, about thirty-five years of age, ?ulte black, and of general brutish appearance, beie is no doubt but that he is tbe man who scaped from Bradley's store, though his rush was so sudden that neither Arthur nor Kirsh can tell whether be was white or black. Bradley was a mild, Inoffensive old man, with 10 family, who for years has supported himself la bis small, dusty, ancient-looking shop as a watch and clock repairer. He was a very sin gular man, and was known to be in the habit of biding Jewelry and old gold and silver iu odd places in bis store. On one occasion some years since he placed a box containicg a large quantity of gold lor safe keeping in an orifice in the chimney where the stove pipe was placed in the Winter. It remained there for some months con cealed by a paper pasted over it, aud was en tirely forgotten by tbe owner when, months atterwards, he wanted to find it. At other times be bas been known to oonceal large quantities f silver nnder the stove, covered with tbe ashes. Probably a knowledge of these eccentricities tempted the parties to rob him. A coroner's jury was held, and adjourned till Saturday morning, at whxh time the prisoners will be brought before thepohoe court for com mittal. Hartford FregB. OBITUARY. Mrs. Catharine Negley. tye record the sudden decease of Mrs. Kate Negley, wife of our esteemed fellow-citizen Major-General James S. Negley. This amiable and much loved lady died yesterday evening, alter an hour's illness, of heart disease. This terrible and unexpected dispensation of Provi dence will afflict with the most poignant sorrow, nt only the stricken family who bave been so cruelly bereaved, but a large circle ol friends who delighted in the society of the noble and generous lady who bas been thus mysteriously summoned from amonest us. But a little while ago, the writer of tbis article was enjoying her hospitali ties, and he finds It strange and hard to realize that this sweet-mannered and kind-hearted lady, so full of all womanly graces and warm hearted sympathies, should be taken away ere she had reached the prime of a life endeared by s much gentleness and goodness. Our entire community will sympathize tenderly with the widowed husband ana motherless children, and those who bad tbe privilege of an acquaintance with the deceased will preserve in loving re membrance the recollection of her virtues. Her grave will not want flowers to deck It, or tbe tribute of tears, that In the attei time shall only "Resemble sorrow As ths mist retuiubles the rain." PMtlnirg Commercial, Nov. 3Wi. Rear-Admtral John Drake Stoat. Bear-Admiral Eloat, of tbe United States Navy, died at his residence at New Brighton, Btaten Island, on Thursday last, In the eighty seventh year of his apt. He was one of tbe few survivors of the old school of officers who lent lustre to the service In the esrly days of the republic, and who maintained the honor of the lag afloat and ashore for nearly three-quarters f acentnry. Increasing years and bodily in- ,.tie only prevented him from aetlvely rticipaviug in the stirring aoenes of tbe t.,rJmt throughout he watched the S..v L.t"f,offli:er"'itl an unsurpassed into If.ti i1cHade. partaking equally In their StasSSr 17 MMlttaelr pain and chagrin in iffifiaii&HS'V enlered the navy as grorlyUfe the war of 1812, be tll?"i ?' the regular navy.

Hince that period he has been emplojed in commstid of the Norfolk Navy Toik, on special servioe, both as superintendent of the construc tion of the famous Stevens battery at Hoooken. and (superintendent of the United. States mail steamships sailing from V.a nArl. in whlrh conpe,cUon w D0 weu remembered by a host of our merchants, who met him dally in our streets, and who could not fail to be im piexred by his active but genial temperament bi d bla fine business qualities. The Retiring Board of 18GC placed blm on the reserved list and granted him Indefinite leave. He was made a Commodore on tbe retired list in 1862, and in July, 18C0, was promoted to tbe rank of Rear-Admiral on the retired list. Hnce 1856 be bas been quietly living at his residence, spending bis closing days lu serene repose. Admiral Bloat left many friends behind him who will deplore his demise, lor his qualities of mind and heart were such as to endear him to ail who enjoyed bis acquaintance. THE PRIZF-RING.

The second deposit ot $100, making $500 a side, is now in the hands ot Mr. Colbert, and unless some unforeseen accident occurs, the malcb will go on to a successful consummation. The interest evinced last evening among the sporting liaternity in relation to this fight and the mystery surrounding the Unknown, named by Mr. Collins, and the many surmises respect ing his identity, was sufficient to prophesy that the fight will be second to none of Us character that bas occurred In this country. Tbe Unknown will not be named until the lust deposit. X. Y. Herald. SEWING MACHINES.
