Xsaae Caryl, a Friend of the Wandell Family, Shot Dead by William Dowling, Their Coachman The Xorderer Than Turns the Oun on Himself and Dies on His Victim's Body No Explanation of the Crime Except Insanity. ALLENDALE.

N. Sept. 8. A terrible double tragedy waa enacted yesterday at the Summer home of the Wandell family, at Saddle River. Iiim Caryl, a friend of the family, waa ahot and Instantly killed William Dowling, the coachman, who then killed himself, and fell on the body of his victim.

It la supposed that Dowling was attacked-ey a fit of Insanity, but his motives for the murder and suicide are atlll shrouded In mystery. Caryl had cOmt from New-York to pass Labor Day with the Wendells: on the invitation ofr Frank Wandell. He rode out from New-York on his bicycle. At Allendale a tire was punctured, and he left the wheel at the station, and walked to Saddle River. On the way he met Frank Wandell.

and the two ate breakfast together, la company with Mrs. Wandell. who ts nearly aeventy years old, and her two daughters. Prom th house the two men walked to the barn to Inspect some Improvements. As they entered the barn door Dowling.

who waa cleaning the harness, looked up and saw CaryL, Arising- from his seat he went into the loft and shortly reappeared with a shotgun. Putting- the stock to his shoulder he aimed at Caryl, and. exclaim. Ins. Now I've got you." fired.

The charge of shot. entered Caryl's left breast Just below the heart. He was not more than three feet away at the time. The charge tore a great ragged wound in hjs breast. Caryl stood still for a moment, tutored-an agonising shriek, -fell over on his dfa.ct-rY-.i'., Fr-nlc Wandell was a mute spectator of an tola, and was so durafounded that he rould not speak.

Dowllng, his eyes glar ing like Are, again raised the gun as though-to shoot Frank, but the latter ran out of the barn and into the 'house. He did not tell his mother or sisters of what had happened to Caryl. Watching out of a window, Frank saw Dowling emerge from the barn. Dowling came up to the house end called to Frank 'to come out. I want to give you my watch and money to give to my daughter," he said.

Frank was not Inclined to leave the house, fearing another tragedy, and Dow-'' ling went back to the barn. In a few moments another shot was heard, and then Frank and bia brother went to the barn. Peering In through the door they saw that Dowling had shot himself, and that he had fallen dead across the body of his victim. Both men lay in pools of their own blood. Townsend Wandell ran to the village for a constable, and the latter, on aertalnlng thte facts, summoned Coroner DeBaum.

The latter viewed the bodies and learned the details from Frank Wandell. Coroner De Baum decided that there was no occasion for an Inquest, and gave permits for the burial of the bodies. This done. Frank Wandell telephoned to Caryl's and also notified Maggie Dowling of. het father's death.

Relatives of both men came here on the last train last night. Oreat crowds of people from all the surrounding villages Stood at the little railroad station at Saddle River this afternoon and saw placed on board the 1 o'clock train the box the body of Isaac Caryl. The father accompanied the body to the family residence, at 116 East Eighty-fourth Street. Shortly before the train pulled out from the station at Saddle River a little funeral cortege started from the home of the Wan-dells In the direction of the Lutheran Cemetery at this place. In the hearse waa the coffin containing the remains of Dowling.

The funeral waa attended by bla daughter, Maggie aged twenty-two years, and her aunt. Mrs. Flaherty, with whom she boarded at 115 Manhattan Street. New-York. Maggie Dowling says that seme months a no her father waa thrown from the car, and with much force, against one of the Iron pillars of the elevated railroad.

Since that time, the girl says, her father had suffered with pains In bis head, and was eighty at times. Isaac Caryl and the Wandell brothers. Frank and Townsend, have been friends ever since they were boys. The father of the Wendells was the late Civil Justice of that name, and for year the family have the Winter at 1U East Eighty-third Street. New-York.

From their back Sard the boys could look Into the win-ows of the Caryl residence, one block away. The lads always played together, end as they grew up they got to be firm friends. All this time Dowling waa the coachman of the Wandell family. He saw the three boys grow Into manhood and the two Wandell girls blossom into womanhood. He always treated them kindly.

During the Summer months, from May until October, the Wandells lived at Saddle River, and Caryl visited them vary often. As the story goes. Dowling never had any but pleaaant words for Caryl about tao months ago, when the latter visited his friends. On that occasion. It la ead.

although the rumor cannot be traced to a definite source, Dowling warned Caryl not to rail at the place That circum-stance, if It really occurred, waa forgotten yesterday when Caryl came here. Caryl's father Is a retired real estate operator, and Isaao was a bookkeeper for C. h. Dltsoa ft musie publishers, at Broadway and Eighteenth Street, New-York. Dowling waa a widower.

The Wandelis deny that Dowling had ever threatened Caryl before, and say that the shooting must have been the result of sadden Insanity. Oat et Pravleleaa at Sea.

Xeta JIow Caadaetee Wilt Set- tie The Qaestlaa mt Parity. Health Commimloner Emery Brooklyn did not receive the report of Drs.

Wilson and Volckennlng regarding that dtya water supply yesterday, because the chemists were not prepared to deliver It, but It was understood that he would receive It to-day and Immediately would make It public. Engineer De Verona yesterday Issued a lengthy statement concerning the water, in the course of which he said: Colorless, odorless, and tasteless water may be Injurious to health, and brown-looking, bad-smelling, and bad-tasting water may be harmless, though decidedly objectionable. Whether or not our Rldge-wood water Is In any way injurious can only be determined after the proper tests, now being made by Prof. Leeds, are completed. Bear also In mind that I have aald that the evils complained of by some of our citizens arise from causes which operate after the water enters the distributing system.

It Is possible, therefore, that the colorless, odorless, and tasteless water of our reservoir, unobjectionable there, may, however, contain the cause which later on operatea In the distributing pipes to produce the evil complained of. I venture to add that the brown-looking and Ill-tasting water Is not furnished in that condition: by a single one of our supply ponds. I will further readily agree to pay a visit to the Springfield supply pond to show that the water therefrom possesses none of the characteristics complained of. I select this pond because it has been the one particularly singled out for condemnation, and because the stream supplying It, from causes beyond our control. Is not kept aa clean as we should like to have it.

This Is the sweetest, but one, of our sources of supply, but. In deference to the suggestion of the Board of Health. It has been shut We keep the streams and ponds in as good condition as we can at all times. We only fall to do what we legally cannot do. At Springfield are a few owners who will not let us enter their lands to clean the stream.

One or two more such Instances may be found elsewhere. In a difficulty like the present one we cannot determine its character and proper remedy, simply because we are.not equipped for that work, but we have asked for the erection of a suitable laboratory." Deputy Water Purveyor Decker said that his department had been flushing water mains right along, but he attributed" the Impurities In the water to the Intense heat of several weeks ago. Such a beat. said Mr. Decker, causes the vegetation In the sources of supply to decay quickly, and a bad odor and a bad taste are the results.

With cooler weather the water will Improve. If there is any vegetation In the mains the fact of their being closed up makes matters worse. Water to be good needs light, air. and activity. In some places, like Wilmington.

it Is thrown up in the air, so as to spread it out and improve it-" WANT' LESS OF LABOR. BroeJtlya Drag-gists Fallow the Example mt the Bakers. The Kings County Pharmaceutical Society had an animated meeting yesterday In the upper hall of the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. 829 Franklin Avenue, and after a lively discussion determined to start a movement for shortening the hours of labor In drug stores. John Gallagher opened the debate with the declaration that he knew no trade or profession with any pretensions to respectability that had so long hours as druggists.

The bakers, he sad, had been able to get a reduction in their hours of labor, and he did not know why the druggists could not do the same thing. He thought that the failure of many druggists was due to the long hours. He moved for the appointment of a committee to adopt a plan for shortening the hours of labor In drug stores. President William Mulr opposed the plan. He aald he did not know of anything to prevent a druggist from closing his store whenever he pleased.

He said a law could -not be passed preventing a store from being kept open, and the only thing a law could do would be to prohibit the employ. Ing of clerks In drug stores more than a certain number of hours a day, but that law could not prevent proprietors from working. After considerable discussion. Mr. Gallagher's resolution was adopted, and the following committee was named: John Gallagher.

of the -Iron Steamboat Company's tine. Bent told his wife last Wednesday that he had bought a wheel and was going to take a ride In the country. He did not return home Wednesday and Mrs. Bent heard aothlng about him until Friday, when the Rev. Richard Jones called upon her and said his daughter.

The story that an aeronaut had met an untimely fall by the burning of his balloon over Hell Oate was explained yesterday by Charles Duppler of 481 Broome Street. He said at Police Headquarters that the balloon waa a paper one sent up at the festival In the Old Homestead Park. Third Ave--nue and Ninety-second Street, of the German Veteran Association of the Franco-Prussian war.

On the bottom of the balloon was a trapese, from which waa suspended a dummy figure of Dr. Stutzke, leader of the sect, whose members expected on Wednesday to be translated to heaven. The intention. It waa said, was to send the effigy to the north pole, but the figure of the celestial candidate got no further than Hell Gate. Bases mt Silver Black Broadway.

ATTENDANCE YES TERDAY THAN USUAL. The Gamblers Evidently 'Afraid of a Raid Business at the Roulette Table Brisk The Faro and Poker Tables Shunned The Poolroom the Chief Attraction to New-York and Jersey City Visitors What Sheriff Toffey Says. The Monte Carlo of the upper part of Weehawken. was again doing busi-aess yesterday, although with a smaller attendance than on The holiday Visitors who played roulette on Monday and then sought comfortable positions on the hillside to enjoy the less expensive game of mumble-the-peg.

were busy In this city yesterday at their regular vocations. Only the regular patrons of the gambling places were on hand, but they were there In smaller numbers than usual. The ferryboat leaving Forty-second Street at 2 o'clock P. M-. on which for a week, at least 10O sporting men from the Tenderloin have made a dally trip, carried less than half Its usual quota.

The passengers on the ferryboats on earlier and later trips added to the gamblers. Many others, however, took passage over the ferry earlier and later in the day. But all these and the visitors from Jersey City did not raise the number of gamblers and bettors on horse races to over ISO. "Where's your crowd to-day?" asked a reporter for The New-York Times of a heavily built man, whose pink shirt was conspicuous. He seemed to be a Ah.

they'll be back In a day or two." he answered. "'We got a show-up to-day In a New-York paper, and I ahouldn't wonder a bit If the boys were afraid of a raid. But they needn't be afraid. There'll be no raid so long as we remain quiet. We're making no noise.

We're running a' square game. No kids are allowed, and there's no call to kick us." All except half a doxen of the forty passengers to Weehawken on the 2 o'clock ferryboat took the left-hand path to the Hoffman House, adjoining which are the barnlike structures In which the sporting men are separated from their money. At the entrance to the first building, to which steps lead directly from the hotel veranda, stood the coatlesa, pink-shirted man. At the Roulette Table. Walk right In, gentlemen." he said, pointing to the open door.

There's nearly an hour before the -first betting on the horses In the other building. Walk right in and make a little stake to double on the favorites." The invitation waa unanimously accepted by the visitors, who passed Into the building. One-half of the visitors went straight ahead to the roulette table, where the marble was already spinning merrily. The lf thfi visitors stopped before a place where five- the denominations of $1, $2, 13, $10, and $20 were pasted on a counter under a glass. The bettors placed their money on the bill they favored, and a ball bounded around Inside a revolving wheel, divided Into sections marked 1, 2.

6. 10, and 20, to correspond with the denominations of the bills. Winning bets on the one-dollar bill paid even money, on the twenty-dollar bill $30 for $1. The percentage in favor of the house If the game was "square" was about 10 to 1. On the opposite aide of the room the faro and poker games were presided over in lonely dignity by men who cried in vain for customers.

The visitors were too much of the twenty-five-cent variety to dabble in anything where the purchase of a good stack of chips was necessary before the bettor could take part. At -the roulette table everything was good, from a lonely ten-cent piece to a ten-dollar bill. The young fellows who surrounded the board most of them were under twenty-five years, and half of them had never voted made their first bet with a dime or quarter. -If they won, the money and Its winnings were- paid for In ten-cent checks, with which the play was continued. Sideshows to the Poolroom.

All these games, however, were merely side-shows for the main performance, the poolroom. When the betting on the first race wu announced, there was a general-rush to get the early quotations. Having procured from the combinations window the printed list of entries at Newport. and other Western tracks, the eager exchange of tips and advice began. Give me a cigarette." said one peak-faced young man to a still younger smoker.

Well, I've got one more," was the admission, but I don't propose to give it away. But if I beat this race, I'll get another package." "How much you got?" Thirty cents, and here goes twenty on Old Centre." Old Centre won at two and a half to one, and the young man soon bad GO cents. He bought another package of cigarettes, and in a moment he- and bis friend were framing their faces In Ill-smelling smoke. They lost their money on the next race, however' an3r-for the rest of the afternoon their only solace was In the cigarettes they had bought when fortune shot them a smile, A working-man, begrimed with smoke and carrying a dinner pail in one hand and a dollar in the other, entered the poolroom about 4 o'clock and aald: Has the second race at Newport been run?" Jut run. Flexible won." said a man standing near by.

The workingman's face broke Into smi'es. That saves me $1." he sail. I dreamed of Quiv Wing last night, and kept of her till I felt she could not lose. So 1 knocked off work to try the i long shot. Gueos I'll take the dollar home to my wife." When the last race had been run one man boastfully declared he was $11 ahead.

There were no me-toos among tne saa-visagea crowd that heard his remark. "I received, about, a week ago," aald What Sheriff Toffey Says. Sheriff Toffey late In the afternoon. an intimation that the old poolroom In the upper part of Weehawken had opened up. I Immediately sent out two detectives to make an investigation.

The men selected were perfect strangers to any one In that locality. They went to the saloon last Thursday afternoon, I believe it was. They reported that four or five men were drinking beer there, but there was no crowd and no indication that gambling was car rled on. I am not prepared to say what fur. ther action I will take.

In a very pleasant hour or two In the Council Chamber yesterday. They met and chatted with each other, decided that It would not do to hold a session next Tuesday, because the Democratic members want to be at the Buffalo Con vert ion on Wednesday, and finally adjourned for two, weeks.

Very little business was transacted. A few resolutions were received and referred and several "general orders" providing for small improvements were disposed of in the usual perfunctory way. Initiatory steps were taken In the effort to prevent trucks and heavy business vehicles from using the Western Boulevard except for a distance of one block to goods. The purpose la to reserve the Boulevard from Fifty-ninth Street to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street for pleasure driving and bicyclists. The providing for this was Introduced by Alderman Robinson.

It seta forth that some of the drivers of heavy trucks take delight In running Into bicyclists. The matter was referred to the Committee on Streets. Among the large number of applications for permits for news standa that were received yesterday and referred to the Aldermen representing the districts of the applicants was one asking for five such stands. This applicant was thought to be too grasping, and bis request was laid upon the table. The Police Board got the Aldermen's permission to contract for election supplies without public letiing.

This la done every year. Several permits were granted for the hanging of political banners, and for several political parades with fireworks. Alderman Ware wanted to get the reform pushcart resolution up. Alderman Noonan. in whose district most of the pushcart men live, objected.

Mr. Noonan." said Mr. Ware, is piqued because he was not consulted about it." I heard nothing about it until the eleventh hour," said Mr. Noonan. It has been here for several weeks, said Mr.

Ware. The matter then went over. CAMPAIGN IN NEW-JERSEY. Soand-Money Democrat Preparing; for the Coalsg Battle. The State Committee of the sound-money Democrats of New-Jersey met at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, yesterday.

The new line will extend from Third Avenue to the Boston Avenue Road, thereby bringing Tremont. where the new municipal building Is situated.

Having frankly stated the truth to my counsel I am advised by biro to write nd ask you to consent to discontinuance of your action against' me upon the acknowledgment that the charges I made against you are untrue. "I believe that you have no other purpose In brlnrlng-thls suit than to vindicate yoursell and that this. statement, now vol untarily made, will accompllab that as fully.

as would a trial of tbo action. I hop yow will grant my request and discontinue this action." Big Store 10, welcome. i tt.
